We report the first record from Tristan da Cunha (37 S, 12 W) in September 2013, and another individual that was observed at Gough Island. Both individuals were lean, lethargic subadult males that were present before the onset of the breeding (pupping) season of the resident populations of subantarctic fur seals Arctocephalus tropicalis.en© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
