Each of those little ones spend around 243 days as a fetus before they are released into the wild. Upon birth, they weight 3.7 kg (8.16 lbs) and measure 21.5 cm (0′ 9″). They are a member of the Otariidae family (genus: Arctocephalus). An adult Arctocephalus forsteri grows up to a size of 1.71 meter (5′ 8″).

Arctocephalus forsteri, the Australasian fur seal, South Australian fur seal, New Zealand fur seal, Antipodean fur seal, or long-nosed fur seal, is a species of fur seal found mainly around southern Australia and New Zealand. The name New Zealand fur seal is used by English speakers in New Zealand; kekeno is used in the Māori language. As of 2014, the common name long-nosed fur seal has been proposed for the population of seals inhabiting Australia.Although the Australian and New Zealand populations show some genetic differences, their morphologies are very similar, and thus they remain classed as a single species. After the arrival of humans in New Zealand, and particularly after the arrival of Europeans in Australia and New Zealand, hunting reduced the population near to extinction.
