New Zealand Fur Seal

Description:

New Zealand fur seals are the best at diving out of any other fur seal because they can dive deeper and longer. Females can dive for about 9 minutes and to a depth of about 312 meters. But females can dive deeper and longer in autumn and winter. Males can dive for about 15 minutes to a depth of about 380 meters. On average New Zealand fur seals only dive for 1–2 minutes.When they dive for food they dive deeper during the day but shallower at night, because during the day their prey typically migrates to deeper depths and migrates back up during the night.
