Navy SEAL is an acronym. Doesn’t count.

So? "Laser" and "radar" are acronyms, but we use them as words

But an acronym that was intentionally made to be the name of the animal, so it's just a duplicate, like all three of the non-singer seals, which just mean to lock something in or out. There are only 2 meanings of seal here, plus a singer who named himself after one of them.
