1. Fur seal

   Fur seals are any of nine species of pinnipeds belonging to the subfamily Arctocephalinae in the family Otariidae. They are much more closely related to sea lions than true seals, and share with them external ears (pinnae), relatively long and muscular foreflippers, and the ability to walk on all fours. They are marked by their dense underfur, which made them a long-time object of commercial hunting. Eight species belong to the genus Arctocephalus and are found primarily in the Southern Hemisphere, while a ninth species also sometimes called fur seal, the Northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus), belongs to a different genus and inhabits the North Pacific. The fur seals in Arctocephalus are more closely related to sea lions than they are to the Northern fur seal, but all three groups are more closely related to each other than they are to true seals.

1. fur seal

   A fur seal is a type of marine mammal belonging to the family Otariidae, one of three groupings of pinnipeds. They are characterized by their thick fur for which they were heavily hunted during the 18th and 19th centuries. Unlike true seals, fur seals have external ears and the ability to walk on all fours. They are found mainly in the polar regions and the Pacific. Most species are highly sociable, living in large colonies, and feed on a diet of fish and shellfish.
