Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collaboration of two experienced wildlife biologists, examines the growth, replacement, and characteristics of the northern fur seal's pelage throughout its lifetime. The authors identify distinct stages of molt and provide estimates for their duration. They also detail th…e progression of these stages with age, sex, and season. The text is supported by numerous tables and figures presenting data collected from an extensive study involving the examination of hundreds of individual seals. Through analysis of samples taken from the back and belly of the animals, the authors provide insights into the variation in pelage characteristics across different body regions and between sexes. The findings presented in this book not only contribute to our understanding of the fur seal's biology but also have practical implications for the timing of seal harvesting to ensure the pelts are of the highest quality and value.
