A rookery is a colony of breeding animals. The term is applied to the nesting place of birds, such as crows and rooks, the source of the term. The breeding grounds of colony forming seabirds and marine mammals (true seals or sea lions) and even some turtles are referred to as rookeries. Paleolgical evidence points to the existence of a pterodaustro rookery. 'Rookery' has also been used as a name for dense slum housing in nineteenth-century cities, and especially London. Pinnipeds (from Latin pinna, wing or fin, and ped-, foot) or fin-footed mammals are a widely distributed and diverse group of semi-aquatic marine mammals comprising the families Odobenidae (walruses), Otariidae (eared seals, including sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (earless seals). Formerly classified as a separate biological suborder, Pinnipedia is now sometimes considered a superfamily within Caniformia, a suborder in the Carnivora order.
