Adult male Antarctic fur seals. Arctocephalus gazella, were observed pursuing, killing and eating adult king penguins, Aptenodytes patagonicus, on Marion lsland. The majority of the king penguins were pursued on land. This is the first time that members of the Otariidae have been reported to take seabirds as large as king penguins, and the first time fur seals have been reported to take penguins ashore.
