  1. A young harp seal after its second moult.

Where this word comes from

Borrowed from French bête de la mer. The construction and spelling of the loanword was evidently influenced by Bedlam and bedlam, suggesting reanalysis as bedlam + -er. This seems all the more plausible given that these seals are sometimes quite vocal, doing a lot of barking, yelling, and mumbling.
