Antarctic fur seal predation on cephalopods at Marion Island
We report two observations of adult male Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, preying on large octopods at subAntarctic Marion Island during July and August 2008. If Antarctic fur seals take cephalopods opportunistically, as previously suggested, our observations may be a rare event represent...

We report two observations of adult male Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, preying on large octopods at subAntarctic Marion Island during July and August 2008. If Antarctic fur seals take cephalopods opportunistically, as previously suggested, our observations may be a rare event representing such opportunistic predation. |
