Abstract

Environmental changes caused by climate change have affected the distribution and feeding behavior of different species, including marine mammals such as pinnipeds, as an example there were reports of pinniped sightings on Mexican beaches, the original distribution and feeding areas are on the coasts of South America. These reports are becoming more and more frequent, and their possible causes are related with climatic anomalies such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation or La Niña event and the distribution of their potential prey.
