Great Question, it would have to be the Antarctic fur seal as I spend most of my time studying them. They are very intelligent and inquisitive and the pups get everywhere. If you leave the door open to the base the porch will quickly fill up with pups exploring and getting into mischief.
My second favorite would be the Leopard Seal as they are just so amazing, they have a fearsome reputation and do each penguins and other seals but mostly they just each Krill (small shrimp like creatures). They look really menacing and have huge mouths full of sharp teeth, but they are amazing to see up close and can sing!
have a listen it is amazing
