Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) pup walking on a beach. This form of locomotion is referred to as galumphing or hobbling. Unlike true seals, fur seals can rotate their hind flippers forwards and use them as legs. Even though this mode of locomotion is not very efficient, it is faster than the belly-hopping of the true seals. These seals, also called South African fur seals, form large colonies on coasts during the breeding season. The Cape fur seal feeds mainly on fish and squid, and is found around the coasts of south-western Africa and southern Australia. Photographed at Swakopmund, Namibia.
