The Antarctic Fur Seal is a marine mammal found primarily on sub-Antarctic islands, particularly around South Georgia and the South Shetland Islands. They are known for their thick fur, which helps them stay warm in cold waters. Adult males can weigh up to 200 kilograms, while females are smaller, averaging around 50 kilograms.
These seals are social animals, often seen in large colonies during the breeding season, which occurs from November to January. They primarily feed on fish and krill, using their agility in the water to catch prey. The population of Antarctic fur seals has rebounded since the end of commercial sealing in the 20th century.
