A Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) undulates in rhythm with fronds of kelp in the waters off Gansbaai, South Africa. Although the animals are clubbed during hunts and die when entangled in fishing nets, they are top predators in the region and among the most abundant fur seals in the world. Photograph by David Doubilet 意译：在南非海岬处生活着一种海豹呈波浪节奏的游动在海水中，虽然南非海豹是棒状的形态，当它们在猎食时也会被钓鱼的网纠缠卷入而致死，但是南非海豹是顶尖的掠夺者，也是全世界海豹的毛皮最为丰富的海豹。
