Guadalupe fur seal
A group of juvenile and female Guadalupe fur seals rest and socialize over a shallow, kelp-covered reef. During the summer mating season, a single adjult male will form a harem of females and continually patrol the underwater boundary of his territory, keeping the females near and intimidating other males from approaching. Guadalupe Island (Isla Guadalupe), Baja California, Mexico, Arctocephalus townsendi. Copyright Phillip Colla, Oceanlight.com
