Wouldn't a seal be just a regular sea lion that's missing an electron?

True, but you originally phrased it as a sea lion is just a seal that's missing an electron. Technically, that would be a seal cation. A seal with an extra electron would be a seal anion.

So, you should have started with what you've ended up with here - a sea lion is just a seal that is either missing an electron or has an extra one.

Not nearly as punchy, but more accurate.

ETA: Corrected because Tdogg is correct.

180 from right.
Electron has negative charge so the resulting seal....minus an electron has a formal charge of +1, or is a cation.

Of course you're correct. Reversed polarity on reversed logic.

Thanks, baw.
