What is a Fur Seal?
Category(s)
Fur Seals are marine mammals known for their dense underfur, which was historically valued in the fur trade. They belong to the family Otariidae, which includes sea lions and other fur seals. Unlike true seals from the Phocidae family, fur seals have external ear flaps and the ability to walk on all fours due to their flippers. They are found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, but some species inhabit the Northern Hemisphere.
