Predation
No information was available on anti-predator adaptations. South American fur seals are preyed on by large sharks, such as great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias), orcas (Orcinus orca), South American sea lions (Otaria byronia), and by humans. Their large size will protect them from many, smaller predators.
(Reeves, et al. 1992 & Couturier 1996)
Known Predators:
- South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens)
- sharks (Chondrichthyes)
- killer whales (Orcinus orca)
- humans (Homo sapiens)
