On Sunday morning, Isaac and I went to the aquarium, where we saw this Northern Fur Seal, also named Isaac. Apparently Northern Fur Seals are pretty rare in captivity, and are quite interesting in that they are one of the few species of seals that actually rely on fur, instead of blubber to keep them warm.
