68x68mm Square full colour printed magnet. 'AUSTRALIAN FUR SEALS'.   100% Tasmanian Made.   (c) Annie Fitz - Art Magnet Range.The Australian Fur Seal is the largest fur seal found in Australian waters. Fur seals have large eyes, a pointed face with whiskers and sharp teeth. The Australian Fur Seal, Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus is the largest of all the fur seals. It has a broad head, pointed snout and long backward sweeping facial vibrissae (whiskers). The body is robust and covered in thick brown layered hair except on the front and back flippers. The Australian Fur Seal is sexually dimorphic (males and females are visibly different). The males are larger than the females and when mature carry a dark mane of coarse hair. They have a set of carnivore-like teeth similar to those of a large dog or bear. Like all members of the Family Otariidae (Fur seals and sea lions) they can raise their body onto their front flippers to move around on land. The Australian Fur Seal has a relatively restricted distribution around the islands of Bass Strait, parts of Tasmania and southern Victoria. They can be seen hauling out (coming ashore) on islands off South Australia and areas of southern New South Wales such as Montague Island with the occasional animal appearing as far north as the mid north coast of New South Wales.

68x68mm Square full colour printed magnet. 'PACIFIC GULL'.   100% Tasmanian Made.   (c) Annie Fitz - Art Magnet Range 2025.PACIFIC GULLLarge dark-backed gull with enormous golden yellow bill with thick red tip (red on both upper and lower parts of beak), yellow legs, black tail tip. The Pacific gull is the largest gull in Tasmania, growing up to 65cm in length. It can be confused with the kelp gull, a similar sized and coloured bird which is more abundant, and often occurs in large flocks on wharves and tip faces around Hobart. The Pacific gull is distinguishable by its robust yellow beak with a red tip on both the top and bottom beak, and a black stripe on its tail feathers. These gulls look for food along the rocky coastline, beaches and in shallow water. They feed mainly on fish, crabs and molluscs. Pacific gulls are sometimes seen dropping crabs and molluscs onto rocks from the air to open their shells. Prime breeding sites are on the high points of islands or headlands, scraping holes in the ground or building nests from sticks, grass and seaweed. Females usually lay and hatch 2 or 3 brown eggs, while the male finds food and guards the nest.
