subantarctic fur seal
Arctocephalus tropicalis
The subtropical sea lion is a marine mammal from the family of eared seals. It lives in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean near subantarctic islands and comes ashore for rest and giving birth to cubs.
The subtropical sea lion differs from other eared seals in the color of the males' fur and the shape of the nose. It is important for nature as a hunter of fish and krill and as prey for large ocean predators.
