fur seals Explanation: "The journey will include a visit to a fur seal colony situated only four kilometres away from the village. There, there is a 1,500-strong fur seal breeding colony". Notes: sealions are "focas" o "lobos marinos". "De un pelo" translates as "fur", which is had by seals that live in and around the poles. "1,500 strong" is the common way to describe colony populations. "Breeding" is included in the same phrase and word-by word translation is quite anti-English. It is a "breeding colony", that's what the moustachioed guys and gals are there for, well, the lucky ones anyway. Have you ever seen them? Babies are cute but then they grow nasty...bark bark :))) collins, fur seal breeding colonies all over NZ |

South American Sea Lion Explanation: (Otaria flavescens)these are not seals. This is the translation for the mamals breeding colonies in southern Argentina. They have ears, fur seals don't.That's why they are known as "eared" seals. Please for complete information visit the following page http://www.greenchannel.com/tec/species/species.htm |
