  • Southern Sea Lions (Otaria flavescens) Female and Sub-dominant male.<br />
Steeple Jason. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
These sea lions are relatively large, stocky animals. The males are one of the most distinctive of all the sea lions. Dwarfing the females in size, they have an enormous head and neck, complete with an extensive mane.<br />
RANGE: Fairly widely distributed with about 60 breeding sites on the Falklands. Also Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America from Peru south.<br />
They prefer tussock islands where they haul out during non-breeding season but breed on rocky beaches or slabs of broken rock. They feed mainly on octopus and squid with some Lobster Krill and fish. They usually feed in kelp beds and usually at night. They also prey on penguins as they come into shore - particularly Gentoo penguins and it has also been recorded that rogue bulls have come ashore and killed Elephant Seal pups and badly mauled weaners.<br />
<br />
The Jasons (Grand and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
This island has the largest Black-browed Albatross colony in the world with 113,000. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society)

  • Striated Caracara or Johnny Rook (Phalcoboenus australis)<br />
Sea Lion Island. South of mainland east Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
Usually quite tame and very curious towards man. Rarely take prey on the wing using instead its ability to run and grasp penguin chicks and eggs and small petrels with its powerful feet and claws. Also feed on insects, molluscs and carrion. Can survive during critical winter periods on excreta of Gentoo penguins and fur seals.  They nest on cliff edges, under large rock slabs or on the top of a tussock grass clump, often close to the seabird colonies on which they prey.<br />
RANGE: Falkland Islands where it is largely restricted to offshore tussock islands like Jason Island group, Beauchene and Sea Lion Island, Islets of Cape Horn and some islands off the south west coast of Chile as far north as Isla Tarlton.<br />
NEAR THREATENED due to small population and restricted range.<br />
Less than 1000 birds exist.

  • Great frigatebirds (Fregata minor) scavenging scraps of Yellow-finned tuna (Thunnus albacares) which was being eaten by a  a Galapagos sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki)<br />
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS  ECUADOR South America<br />
Breed on Genovesa (Tower), Seymour and San Cristobal Islands in the Galapagos.<br />
RANGE: They breed in the w, e and central Pacific and Revillagigedo, Cocos and Galapagos Islands. Also on Trindade Island, Martin Vaz Island and range to Brazil. In the w Indian Ocean on Aldabra and adjacent islands as well as Christmas Island. In the S. China Sea on Paracel Island.<br />
This is one of 2 species found in Galapagos. They have the largest wingspan-to-bodyweight ratio of any bird making them highly manoeuvrable and acrobatic. These seabirds range long distances to feed, scooping fish off the surface as they can not land at sea.

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These birds are relatives of the frigate birds. However they use their pouches for trapping water and with luck some fish. Brown pelicans are the smallest of the family and the only pelicans which are truly marine and also together with the Peruvian pelicans that plunge-dive to catch their food. They nest in scattered colonies throughout the archipelago. Breeding occurs in any month, although particular colonies are synchronised.

  • Galapagos sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki) bull feeding on Yellow-finned tuna (Thunnus albacares)<br />
Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individuals in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.
