Answer 3

I remember I was out fishing off California and this new guy started calling that there was a dog out in the water. It was a sea lion. They kind of look like a dog or bear.

Answer 4

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinniped

It said in part, "The German naturalist Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger was the first to recognize the pinnipeds as a distinct taxonomic unit; in 1811 he gave the name Pinnipedia to both a family and an order.[4] American zoologist Joel Asaph Allen reviewed the world's pinnipeds in an 1880 monograph, History of North American pinnipeds, a monograph of the walruses, sea-lions, sea-bears and seals of North America."

It's an old name for a northern seal.

Answer 5

the only marine bear is the polar bear, so unless you live in the high arctic, you did not see one

it was probably some type of seal, sea lion or small whale

if you live along the gulf coast it may have been a manatee

Answer 6

Nope, but a big sea lion can look bear-like when it's seen underwater. There are no sea bears however.
