Seals have nails:
https://www.neaq.org/blog/even-seals-need-manicures
"In fur seals, their toenails are exposed about halfway down their hind flippers. That is where their toe bones end. Their flippers continue past the nail with long flexible cartilage. The toes, nails, and extensive cartilage is necessary for reaching all the fur on their backs for grooming.
We dont have to clip the fur seals nails because they never get too long. Thats most likely from them grooming so often. Fur seals must groom their fur for hours each day in order to maintain their coats. They are, in fact, the second furriest animals on the planet (behind sea otters) and they rely on those dense coats to keep them warm."
