In heraldry, the term sea-lion (sometimes called a morse)[1] refers to a legendary creature that has the head and upper body of a lion, but with webbed forelimbs and a fish tail.[2] These occur most frequently as supporters, but also occur as crests and occasionally as charges.[1] Sea-lions are frequently found in "sejant" or "sejant-erect" (sitting upright) attitudes, but may also be found "naiant" (horizontally, as if swimming) or "assurgeant" (issuing from the waves of the sea).[1]

Transcription
Sea otters are small playful pranksters that live in the ocean. They have long slim bodies, short limbs, small tail & web paws. Sea Otters are closely related to land animals like Weasels...Badgers and Minks. But sea otters spend most of their time cold water that's why they have really thick coat fur. Their fur lets absolutely no water through just like a raincoat. Sea otters love nothing better than to float on their backs and roll around. "Look at me. Hey Mum, look at me! I can tumble". Did you know.... sea otters are one of the few animals that use tools. They use rocks to smash open sea mollusks. Isn't that clever. They love to play and groom each other's coats. who alludu I was your coot looking we on months jens Looking good lying on the beach and chilling out with the bid head-scratching it's fun When sea otters rest they lie together in a big group called a raft and they hold hands so no one floats away. That's very cute. be sure to subscribe
In the Philippines
The sea-lion is prominent in the heraldic tradition of the Philippines, where it denotes state power and authority. It features on the coats of arms of the capital, the primatial see, the seal of the navy, the presidential seal, the seals of the Department of Finance, the Department of Education and other various government offices. It can also be found on the medal of the Philippine Legion of Honor.
The heraldic device comes from Manila's colonial arms, where the sea-lion represents the islands as an ultramar (overseas) possession of Spain; the lion is ultimately derived from the arms of Castile and León.
On May 30, 1596, Philip II of Spain gave Manila its own specific coat of arms:[3]
- "On the upper half of the coat of arms is a castle of gold on a red field, with a door and windows in blue, atop the shield a crown. On the lower half, on a blue field is a figure half lion half dolphin in silver, with colored claws and tongue, holding in its paw an unsheathed sword..."
In other countries
- A sea-lion can be seen on the Crest of the 8th Marine Regiment of the United States Marine Corps.[4]
- The carp statue, in front of Chenghuang Temple (城隍廟; Chénghuáng Miào) in Hsinchu City, Taiwan.[5]
