Endemic: though the
population size of the fur seal is the same as that of the sea lion, they
are not as easily found because they like rocky steep areas as opposed to
basking in the sun like the sea lion. You can distinguish the fur seal
from the sea lion by the fur seals shorter snout, smaller body and larger
sadder eyes. Despite the fact that in the 1800s thousands of fur seals
were taken close to extinction, it seems their population has grown
considerably. You can see these animals in Rabida, James Bay and in
Genovesa Island.
