In the middle you find a male. Captured in the middle of the mating season. Males are considerably larger than females. They are darker in colour and have a bulbous nose.

From wikipedia.
The Brown Fur Seal has a large broad head and a pointed snout. Males are brown to dark gray with a darker mane and a light underside. They grow up to 2.2m (7ft) and weigh around 200-360 kg (440-800lb)
