Cape Fur Seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus have been observed to predate upon several species of endemic seabird in South Africa and Namibia, including Cape Gannets Morus capensis Cormorants Phalacrocorax capensis, Bank Cormorants Crowned Cormorants P. coronatus and African Penguins demersus (David et al. 2003, du Toit et al. 2004). Due to the high predation rate and small population sizes of several of these bird species, seal predation of seabirds can have negative impacts on the conservation status of these species (David et al. 2003, du Toit 2004, Makhado et al. 2006).
