 Species Profiles — OBIS-SEAMAP
The fur seal can be readily distinguished from the sea lion by its small and compact stocky body, very short pointed muzzle, long creamy white vibrissae on small dark adults, thick long fur and shaggy look when wet, long prominent ear pinnae and proportionately large eyes, and equal length toes on the hind flippers.
They are present on nearly all of the islands in the Archipelago, and prefer to haul-out near the shoreline on rocky coasts with large boulders and ledges that provide shade and the opportunity to rest in crevices and spaces between the rocks.
Despite their population size, the Galapagos fur seal population will always be vulnerable to a variety of threats because of the species’ restricted distribution to a relatively small Archipelago of islands.
