The scientific name of the Hoo Island fur seal is Arctocephalus philippii. It likes to stand upside down in the water for a long time, with its head down and its flippers raised out of the water and swinging slowly. It breeds on the Juan-Fernandez Islands in Chile. It gives birth in June. It is docile. There were many of them in the 16th and 17th centuries, but they were hunted for their fur by Britain, the United States and other countries in the first 25 years of the 19th century, which made them on the verge of extinction. It is estimated that there are 650 to 750 of them now.
