flipperling
Examples
“1893 August, Rudyard Kipling, "Seal Lullaby", in "The White Seal", National Review⟳. Where billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow; / Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!”
“There the flipperlings—young seals—are born, and from there, as the ice begins to break⟳ up with the spring⟳, they and their parents come⟳ floating southwards on huge blocks of ice.”
“At last⟳ an unwary cod, in flight from the big male, sped close⟳ beside the flipperling.”
