Vol. 56 #2 61 Among the 6 New Species in This Selection Is the Third Vol. 56 #2 61 Among the 6 new species in this selection is the third of the Douc Langur species, which means that all 3 have now definitely appeared on stamps. There was originally only one species, but this has now been split into 3 and, as with other instances, I have not as yet got around to checking back on earlier stamps depicting the single species, in order to see which of the new species is depicted. I shall hopefully get around to this at some stage and provide an updated identification list of mammals that were once listed as single species.

OTARIIDAE AND PHOCIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION Pinnipeds are aquatic carnivores. They differ from other mammals in their streamlined shape, reduction of pinnae and adaptation of both fore and hind feet to form flippers. In the skull, the orbits are enlarged, the lacrimal bones are absent or indistinct and there are never more than three upper and two lower incisors. The cheek teeth are nearly homodont and some conditions of the ear that are very distinctive (Repenning 1972). Both superfamilies of pinnipeds, Phocoidea and Otarioidea, are represented in Australian waters by a number of species (Table 56.1). The various superfamilies and families may be distinguished by important and/or easily observed characters (Table 56.2). King (1983b) provided more detailed lists and references. These and other differences between the above two groups are not regarded as being of great significance, especially as an undoubted fur seal (Australian Fur-seal Arctocephalus pusillus) is as big as some of the sea lions and has some characters of the skull, teeth and behaviour which are rather more like sea lions (Repenning, Peterson & Hubbs 1971; Warneke & Shaughnessy 1985). The Phocoidea includes the single Family Phocidae – the ‘true seals’, distinguished from the Otariidae by the absence of a pinna and by the position of the hind flippers (Fig.

  • Proposal to De-List Antarctic Fur Seals As Specially Protected Species
    WP 39 Agenda Item: ATCM 14, ATCM 15, CEP 8 Presented by: SCAR Original: English Proposal to De-list Antarctic Fur Seals as Specially Protected Species 1 WP 39 Proposal to De-list Antarctic Fur Seals as Specially Protected Species Introduction 1. At III ATCM in 1964 the Parties addressed conservation issues for the first time and approved the Agreed Measures for the Conservation of Antarctic Flora and Fauna. In its Annex A were listed those species which were to be designated as Specially Protected Species. These comprised “All species of the genus Arctocephalus, Fur Seals” and “Ommatophoca rossii, Ross Seal”. 2. At that time it appeared to at least some of the Parties that there was a pressing need to draw attention to the need to protect these particular species, Fur Seals because they had been previously hunted almost to extinction and Ross Seals as they appeared to be exceptionally rare and very little was known about them. However, no criteria were ever formally agreed or published to indicate precisely why or how these species were selected. 3. There appears to have been no further discussions on Specially Protected Species per se, although the seals were considered again when the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals (CCAS) was drafted. When the Agreed Measures were used as the basis for drafting Annex II of the Protocol in 1991 there was no specific discussion about the species listed in Annex A and they were therefore automatically incorporated into the legislation. 4. It has been generally assumed by conservationists worldwide that classification as a Specially Protected Species is a status that is only afforded to the most vulnerable and endangered species.

Heissler3 · Ignacio B. Moreno1,2,3 Received: 30 May 2017 / Revised: 12 September 2017 / Accepted: 27 November 2017 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2017 Abstract Records of vagrant marine organisms provide important information on oceanographic anomalies and the changing envi- ronment. We report on an immature Weddell seal, Leptonychotes weddellii, sighted at Calheta Beach in Trindade Island (20°31′S 29°19′W), Brazil, on July 9, 2015. A number of injuries were noted, including blisters on the dorsal surface of the body and a small cut at the right-hand side distal portion of the mandible. Based on its size and the state of fusion of cranial sutures, we suggest that it was born in the 2014 austral spring and was possibly 8–10 months old. We suggest that it comes from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula. This is the closest breeding location of this species. This sighting is the northernmost of L. weddellii, being at least ~ 5140 km from the Antarctic Peninsula (63°12′S 55°04′W) and ~ 2840 km north from the second northernmost sighting of this species in Uruguay.
