Is a ribbon seals classification the same as seals in general

Ribbon seals don't appear to have their own specific category, but some of their cousins do.

Seals in general fall under 599.79

The harp seal is 599.7929

The grey seal is 599.793

Other "true seals" of the phocid family are under 599.796

But the library isn't sorted by taxonomy or genetics, so books on ribbon seals will probably be under the general classification.

Apologies it’s me again. Where would red foxes and black tip reef sharks be classified please?

599.775 and 597.3 respectively

where do I go to find those cool animal fact books like "100 interesting things about bears" that they have a lot of at school book fairs?

59x is for all animals in general, and fact books are usually sorted low in the third digit (alongside dictionaries, periodicals, history books, and miscellany), so 590 would be a good bet. For bears specifically, that would be 599.78
