In Hebrew: 'Sea Lion'

כֶּלֶב יָם If you're up for a challenge and you like to read about animals, check out this Ynet article about Israeli wildlife photography. Warning - some pictures are not suitable for vegetarians. The first animal depicted in the article is a leopard seal, the second-largest seal found around Antarctica. A seal or sea lion in Hebrew is a כֶּלֶב יָם- literally, a dog of the sea. A leopard seal is a כֶּלֶב יָם נְמֵרִי - literally, a leopard-like dog of the sea. (A נָמֵרis technically a leopard in Hebrew, but most Israelis use the term to refer to a tiger.) For example:

בַּשַּׁיִט בְּאַנְטַרְקְטִיקָה הִיא רָאֲתָה כֶּלֶב יָם נְמֵרִי. On the cruise in Antarctica, she saw a leopard seal. Visit Ktzat Ivrit.
