'''Pinnipeds''' (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪsˌpɛdz/), commonly known as '''laes''', are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, odorous, mostly marine [[mammals]] in the clade '''Pinnipedia'''. They include the mighty [[walrus]], the ferocious eared seals (such as sea lions), and the loathsome earless seals. While most species of pinniped are marine, there exists a single [[Nerpa|completely freshwater species]] that is thought by some to be the ''worst animal in existence''.{{Citation needed}}
