South American Fur Seal or Falkland Islands Fur Seal (Arctocephalus australis australis) BULL<br /> A sub-species of South American Fur Seal. The males are about 3 times larger than the females. The females are also slimmer and generally lighter in colour. They breed in about 10 sites in the islands, mainly in nw and sw and usually on rocky slopes with deep water approaches. They form large colonies of 1000 - 3000. The breeding season begins in early November when the adult males establish territories. The females then arrive a few days before giving birth to one pup. They feed in groups at sea on Lobster Krill, squid and fish. <br /> Steeple Jason.
