Habitat
The males of the species spend most of the year out at sea, hauling out on the rookeries only during the mating season. Females spend much of their time close to the rookeries, hauling out at regular intervals for nursing and again during the breeding season. Breeding occurs on land and rocky coastal areas are preferred for the rookeries (King, 1983; Riedman, 1990).
