New Zealand Fur Seal
Arctocephalus forsteri
The New Zealand fur seal is an eared seal of New Zealand and southern Australia, with dark gray-brown fur, visible ear flaps and a pointed whiskered muzzle. Males grow much larger than females and develop a coarse neck mane. Marine-mammal facilities provide swimming pools and dry haul-out space; females bear live pups. CITES Appendix II and the Marine Mammal Protection Act apply. US wild capture or import for public display requires the applicable federal permit.
