What is another word for bearded seal?
Pronunciation: [bˈi͡ədɪd sˈiːl] (IPA) 
The bearded seal, also known as the "squareflipper" or "uugaq," is a marine mammal found in the Arctic region. Some synonyms for the bearded seal include the "Eskimo seal," "sea canary," and "frost seal." The name "Eskimo seal" comes from the Inuit people who have traditionally hunted and relied on the bearded seal for survival. On the other hand, the name "sea canary" comes from the seal's unusual vocalizations which sound like bird songs. Lastly, the name "frost seal" is fitting due to the seal's habitat in icy waters and the abundance of hair around its face and neck, resembling a frosty beard.
