23 Jun Dive Behaviour and Foraging Effort of Female Cape Fur Seals
Posted at 14:32h in Newsletter
Recently scientists focused on the dive behavior and foraging efforts of Cape fur seals using Wildlife Computers dive recorders. Most dives were less than 50 m deep showing that the fur seal diet may largely focus on small schooling fish because these dives don’t expend as much energy. Some of the pursuit dives may be seals going after bigger prey as they come across it.
