Antarctic Fur Seal

Arctocephalus gazella (species), “Kerguelen Fur Seal”

On the Web

On Wikipedia

The Antarctic fur seal (Arctophoca gazella), is one of seven seals in the genus Arctophoca, and one of nine fur seals in the subfamily Arctocephalinae. Despite what its name suggests, the Antarctic fur seal is mostly distributed in Subantarctic islands and its scientific name is thought to have come from the German vessel SMS Gazelle, which was the first to collect specimens of this species from Kerguelen Islands.
