	Fur Seals
		This species is occasionally confused with Arctocephalus gazella, with which it breeds synpatrically, but it is clearly a different species.
		The main problem areas for this fur seal are: increased pollution with pesticides and heavy metals of its habitat, increased disturbance and the high level of net entanglement cases.
		The Australian population was originally described as to belong to Arctocephalus doriferus (which is now a subspecies of Arctocephalus pusillus), but later it was realized that this animal was similar to the New Zealand fur seal, described as Arctocephalus forsteri.

		As User:B.navez has confirmed, there is only one species, arctocephalus gazella, depicted.
		I confirm there is today only one species of fur seal on Amsterdam island, but this species has been now identified as Arctocephalus tropicalis (Sub-antarctic fur seal) and not A. gazella (Antarctic or Kerguelen's fur seal).
		Both species (gazella and tropicalis) may be found on Marion, Crozet and Macquarie islands.

		Threats today include entanglement in fishing gear and debris and the potential depletion of their food resource base due to intensive commercial harvesting of fish and squid.
		Although the population of Antarctic fur seals is still growing, entanglement of these seals in debris at a rate of 0.1 to 1% at South Georgia may become a factor in the stability of this species.

		ABSTRACT: We investigated intra-specific and geographic variation in the behaviour of female Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella by serially sampling 11 individuals throughout their breeding season using satellite tracking, time-depth recorders and radio transmitters.
		There was significant variation between individuals in trip durations and the maximum distance reached from the breeding beach, but not in the direction of travel.
		While individual seals may exploit areas of previous feeding success, their diving behaviour within these areas is likely to be determined by the spatial and temporal distribution of the prey within them.

		Males do not feed during their time on shore in the breeding season and lose about 1.5kg in weight per day over the 30 or so days that they are on land.
		There has been some cross-breeding of Antarctic and Subantarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus tropicalis) at Macquarie and Marion Islands.
		The main food of Antarctic fur seals at South Georgia is krill but fish, squid and even some birds are also eaten, especially outside the breeding season.

		Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) breed mainly on subantarctic islands south of the Antarctic convergence including the South Orkney and South Shetland Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, Bouvet Island, Iles Kerguelen, and Heard Island, with only three colonies (on Marion Island, Iles Crozet, and Macquarie Island) lying north of the convergence.
		At Macquarie Island three species of fur seal occur: Antarctic fur seals and subantarctic fur seals which both breed there and New Zealand fur seals which occur in large numbers but do not breed.

	Antarctic Fur Seal, Arctocephalus gazella @ MarineBio.org
		The Antarctic fur seal, Arctocephalus gazella, (also known as the Kerguelen and Southern fur seal) like other fur seals are distinguished by the presence of external ears and their ability to use their flippers to prop themselves up into a "standing" position.
		Adult males of this species measure 1.6-2 m in length and weigh between 90-210 kg, averaging 188 kg.
		Pup mortality over the first year of life has been calculated at 24% and is greater on the denser breeding beaches.
