-'''Clapper the Seal''' is an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in the levels [[Lava Lagoon]] and [[Clapper's Cavern]]. When jumped on, Clapper can cool down or freeze water with his breath, allowing the Kongs to swim through otherwise-boiling water or to walk on top of the ice. As he is stationary, Clapper is one of few of the Animal Friends that tends to appear several times in a level, next to different sections of water.
+'''Clapper the Seal''' is an [[Animal Friend]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in the levels [[Lava Lagoon]] and [[Clapper's Cavern]]. A character resembling Clapper, named [[Seal]], later appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
-Clapper got his name from the popular depiction of seals clapping with their flippers, which he himself does in the games. He has silver fur, large eyes, and a tan snout with a black nose and five whiskers on each side. Like [[wikipedia:Pinniped|all seals]], he has four flippers, the hind two of which somewhat resemble a fluked whale tail. A [[Seal|similar-looking seal]] later appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

+Clapper always sits next to a body of water stationary, and he has the ability to cool the water temperature. To do so, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must jump on Clapper, who breathes into the water and then claps his flippers (hence his name). In Lava Lagoon, Clapper cools down the boiling lava water, allowing [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to safely swim through. In Clapper's Cavern, a level bearing his name, Clapper freezes the water into solid ice, allowing the Kongs to safely cross above [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]].
+After a while, the water that Clapper had cooled changes back into its original temperature; therefore the Kongs should quickly move through the [[level]]. Since the water temperature only changes temporarily, a few Clappers appear throughout both Lava Lagoon and Clapper's Cavern to compensate. Clapper is the only Animal Friend in the game who does not have its own [[Animal Crate]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Clapper makes stock sound effect of seals every few seconds.
