The fur seal is a common enough sea creature in New Zealand, and is found resting on rocky shores. They are individual hunters - i.e. not hunting in packs. There are several different species of seal - and the New Zealand one is closer to sea lions - external ears etc. They do not have the 'harem' sociology of other seals.

Squid, seabirds, and fish are their main diet, and they dive deeply for food.
