The Galápagos fur seal, found resting in its natural habitat in this shot, is among the most unique pinnipeds, adapted to the specific conditions of the Galápagos Islands. Although they share similarities with their sea lion cousins, fur seals are smaller and sport a much thicker fur coat, a trait that allows them to endure the cooler waters of the Galápagos. Unfortunately, they are classified as endangered, with pollution, fishing nets, and climate change posing significant threats to their populations. Conservation efforts in the Galápagos Islands focus on habitat preservation, monitoring of populations, and reducing human impact through sustainable tourism practices.
