Growth of upper canine teeth of male Antarctic fur seals ( Arctocephalus gazella ) which died of natural causes at Bird Island, South Georgia, was quantified from measurements of annual layers in longitudinal sections of teeth. Mean age at death was 7.69±0.07 years and this showed a small but signif...
