Individual leopard seals specialize in specific prey types despite being generalist species, reshaping ecosystem dynamics.

Researchers measured the amount of nitrogen and carbon in the whiskers, which tells them the kinds of animals the leopard ...

A new study shows that melting sea ice due to increasing temperatures is leading to a "concerning" and severe decline in ...

The study of fur seals, almost all of which live on the sub-Antarctic islands of South Georgia, shows that the modern-day population peaked in 2009 at about 3.5 million -- a healthy number ...

Antarctic fur seals, for instance, don't really like the ice. Like monarch butterflies, these seals are an indicator species, and the indications should be good.

Populations of Antarctic seals have halved over 50 years amid a warming climate and shrinking sea ice, a new study has shown.

On one island off the Western Antarctic Peninsula, leopard seals eat as many as 70% of Antarctic fur seal pups each year, severely impacting their declining population, researchers said.

The juvenile sub-Antarctic fur seal was found by Lake’s Entrance resident Anne Kaiser on Bunga Beach, about 318km east of Melbourne on September 17.

It found that Weddell seals, which depend heavily on sea ice to breed and feed, and Antarctic fur seals, which breed on land but are still affected by environmental impacts on the food chain, have ...
