Difference between Penguin and Pinniped

Penguin vs. Pinniped

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds. Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals.

Similarities between Penguin and Pinniped

Penguin and Pinniped have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Clade, Countershading, Eocene, Family (biology), Flipper (anatomy), Genus, Killer whale, Krill, Latin, Leopard seal, Monophyly, Morphology (biology), Most recent common ancestor, Near-sightedness, Oligocene, Order (biology), Penguin, Seabird, Shark, Sister group, Taxonomy (biology), Year.

Clade

A clade (from κλάδος, klados, "branch"), also known as monophyletic group, is a group of organisms that consists of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants, and represents a single "branch" on the "tree of life".

Countershading

Countershading, or Thayer's law, is a method of camouflage in which an animal's coloration is darker on the upper side and lighter on the underside of the body.

Most recent common ancestor

In biology and genealogy, the most recent common ancestor (MRCA, also last common ancestor (LCA), or concestor) of any set of organisms is the most recent individual from which all the organisms are directly descended.

Near-sightedness

Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a condition of the eye where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina.

Oligocene

The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.
