Photographs of Arctocephalus galapagoensis at Barra El Jiote community on Jutiapa 9 June 2016 (a, b) and 10 June 2016 (c), and at Asociación de Rescate de Vida Silvestre on 14 June 2016 (d), Guatemala. The morphological characteristics captured in the photographs distinguish this species from other Arctocephalus. The characteristics include a short pointed muzzle (a, b, d) with a pale tan extending onto the face and forehead over the eyes forming a small pale mask (b, c, d); a slightly rounded crown, a short sloping forehead; and no conspicuous sagittal crest (a, b, c). Additionally, the individual had a grizzled gray-brown fur on the back of the body and sides (b). Photo credits: A. Flores (a, c) and E. Quintana-Rizzo (b, d)
