	Systematics of the Carnivora
		Traditionally, the Carnivora have been classified in two suborders: the Pinnipedia, which includes the seals and sea lions, and the Fissipedia, which includes all land-dwelling carnivores.
		Defined in this way, however, the Fissipedia is paraphyletic, since pinnipeds evolved from an arctoid (bear-like) land-living ancestor.
		Therefore the Fissipedia is not considered a valid taxon.
