Cape Fur Seal

The Cape fur seal is a sleek marine mammal found along the coasts of southern Africa and Australia. Known for its thick brown fur, it spends much of its life in the water but gathers in large colonies on rocky shores.

• Cape fur seals have dense fur that keeps them warm in cold waters.
• They form noisy colonies on rocky beaches and islands.
• These seals are skilled swimmers, hunting fish and squid.
