Abstract

The Guadalupe fur seal Arctocephalus townsendi (GFS) is known in Latin America as the lobo fino de Guadalupe, oso marino de Guadalupe, or lobo de dos pelos de Guadalupe. Guadalupe Island (GI), off the coast of Baja California, México, is the typical locality where this species occurs; the taxon was first described by Merriam (1897) based on a specimen collected on the island’s west coast. Presently, the GFS distribution is centered on Laboratorio de Ecología de Pinnípedos “Burney J. Le Boeuf”, Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas, Instituto Politécnico Nacional. Av. IPN s/n, Col. Playa Palo de Santa Rita, C.P.
