The northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) is an eared seal found along the north Pacific Ocean, the Bering Sea, and the Sea of Okhotsk. It is the largest member of the fur seal subfamily (Arctocephalinae) and the only living species in the genus Callorhinus.[3] A single fossil species, Callorhinus gilmorei, is known from the Pliocene of Japan and western North America.[4]
