Do seals clap their flippers and balance balls on their nose?
Seals do not do these things in the wild but some are trained to do so in zoos. The most common performing seal is the California sea lion, although any otariid seal could be trained to do the same thing. This is because seals are intelligent and, like dogs, can be trained to learn and remember new skills. Phocid seals are just as smart but don’t make very good performers because they can’t stand up!
