	Science Notes 2002 \| Listening to the Bones
		Indeed, the fur seals may be just one example of a more general shift of pinniped species—a group including seals and sea lions—from the Pacific Coast mainland to offshore island refuges.
		For instance, according to data gathered from living seal populations by UCSC graduate student Rob Burton, the bones of seals feeding close to shore are laced with more “heavy” carbon and nitrogen than the bones of those foraging in deeper waters.
		Successful male seals are quite the playboys, forming harems of up to 40 females, while the other males just hang out on the sidelines and may not mate at all.
