The Juan Fernández fur seal (Arctocephalus philippii) is the second smallest of the fur seals, after the Galápagos fur seal. They are found only on the Pacific Coast of South America, more specifically on the Juan Fernández Islands and the Desventuradas Islands. Much is still unknown about this species. Scientists do not yet know the average lifespan of this species, or the diet and behavior of males outside the breeding season.
