I’m really confused then, since “articulate” to me means clear, distinct speech, being good with words, or having the power of speech. I don’t know what it means in this context.
“Articulate” as in a rough synonym of expressive. Art is articulate. Gaming can be articulate. Or at least that’s what I’m going by. I learned full English later in life, which may explain why some people say my word choice isn’t 100% analogous to its closest counterpart.
Ah, I see where you’re coming from with that interpretation, thanks for the clarification! (For what it’s worth, for this English speaker, “articulate” has a very strong connotation of speech.)
To me it has a connotation of the individual connections clearly established. Hands are articulate mechanisms because they’re highly divided down into small pieces.
Articulate can relate to physical flexibility, jointedness, which isn’t a strong point for seals on land, and may contribute to their tendency to squash their pups. Speaking clearly is also not a strong point.

Or, or what if a seal could make a few human noise yeah? Or?
They don’t just squash their pups, they often outright slaughter.
