Fur seals are any of nine species of pinnipeds in the Otariidae family. One species, the northern fur seal(Callorhinus ursinus) inhabits the North Pacific, while seven species in the Arctocephalus genus are found primarily in the Southern hemisphere. They are much more closely related to sea lions than true seals, and share with them external ears(pinnae), relatively long and muscular foreflippers, and the ability to walk on all fours. They are marked by their dense underfur, which made them a long-time object of commercial hunting.  3, record 4, English, - fur%20seal

We have examined phylogenetic and geographic patterns of variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of Southern Hemisphere fur seals (Arctocephalus spp.). Our survey of 106 individuals from four putative species reveals three distinct patterns of variation reflecting ancient, recent historic, and contemporary gene flow. For the combined samples of Subantarctic (Arctocephalus tropicalis) and Antarctic (Arctocephalus gazella) fur seals, we find low levels of sequence diversity and reciprocal paraphyly of hapiotypes (where representative haplotypes of a species are found to occur infrequently in another species and vice versa).  4, record 4, English, - fur%20seal

otarie : Terme regroupant toutes les espèces de mammifères amphibies constituant la famille des otariidés, au sein de l'ordre des pinnipèdes (carnivores fréquentant le milieu marin). Les otaries sont assez proches des phoques; elles s'en distinguent essentiellement par le fait qu'elles ont des oreilles externes (c'est-à-dire pourvues d'un pavillon) et qu'elles se déplacent à terre sur leurs quatre membres. […] Les otaries à crinière, ou lions de mer, doivent leur nom à la majestueuse crinière des mâles; leur fourrure ne contient pas de poils de bourre et n'a donc aucune valeur commerciale. […] Les otaries sans crinière sont parfois appelées ours de mer, ou otarie à fourrure. Cette dernière est, en effet, très recherchée, car ces espèces ont un épais duvet laineux, présent sous des poils plus longs et plus gros. Les otaries à fourrure du genre Arctocephalus vivent dans l'hémisphère Sud (Antarctique, côtes d'Amérique du Sud, Kerguelen...). L'otarie du Nord à fourrure (Callorhinus ursinus), qui mesure 1,50 m à 2 m de long pour un poids de 200 à 250 kg, est la seule otarie à fourrure vivant dans l'hémisphère Nord (dans le Pacifique Nord). Elle a eu beaucoup à souffrir des chasseurs.  4, record 4, French, - otarie%20%C3%A0%20fourrure

The kayak was an important part of the hunting equipment.... Inuit men made the frame of wood and bone. They pieced the frame together with sealskin rope and wood pegs. Prior to the introduction of commercial wood, frames were made of driftwood collected from the beaches. The kayak frame was covered with watertight skin. Traditionally, the seal or caribou skin cover was scraped of all hair and sewn into place by Inuit women.  1, record 5, English, - kayak%20frame
