Editing Fur seal (section)

==Habitat==
Of the fur seal family, eight species are considered southern fur seals, and only one is found in the Northern Hemisphere.  The southern group includes Antarctic, Galapagos, Guadalupe, Juan Fernandez, New Zealand, brown, South American, and subantarctic fur seals.  They typically spend about 70% of their lives in subpolar, temperate, and equatorial waters.  Colonies of fur seals can be seen throughout the Pacific and Southern Oceans from south Australia, Africa, and New Zealand, to the coast of Peru and north to California.  They are typically nonmigrating mammals, with the exception of the northern fur seal, which has been known to travel distances up to 10,000&nbsp;km.  Fur seals are often found near isolated islands or peninsulas, and can be seen hauling out onto the mainland during winter.  Although they are not migratory, they have been observed wandering hundreds of miles from their breeding grounds in times of scarce resources.  For example, the subantarctic fur seal typically resides near temperate islands in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans north of the Antarctic Polar Front, but juvenile males have been seen wandering as far north as Brazil and South Africa.
