Ah, yes. The default antagonist of every talking penguin movie. These guys are like the crocodiles of the antarctic.

As a penguin I whole heartedly agree with this accurate depiction

Leopard seal in water: Cruise missile with teeth.

Leopard seal on land: Me after thanksgiving.

I like the story of the seal trying to "teach" the photographer how to hunt. That sounds really adorable.

No it's not a bad animal. Apparently it can be concerned for other's wellbeing. An photographer was diving with his camera on the arctic and a leopard seal interpreted him as some kind of sea animal and the seal proceeded to try and feed him! When he didn't eat (the camera being his alleged mouth) the seal became visibly concerned for him and tried to help him eat. That was so very very sweet, I think. I know they eat other seals or penguins or whatever, but everyone has to eat.

Nice to see I’m not the only person terrified of leopard seals.

@esmi0136 3 years ago (edited)

I think the fact that Orcas are its' only known predators in the wild speaks volumes about the leopard seal, lmao.

As a Leopard Seal, these facts are true. Thank you for spreading this information

It's actually amazing how animals can survive in such cold environments

This feels like a really close analogue to mosasaurs.

They’re terrifying and cute simultaneously.

@rockydaniel7073 3 years ago

You didn’t mention their dark habit of killing penguins in mass apparently just for the fun of it and yes, this has been video documented many times

That size comparison to Kodiak bears reminded be that as much as we joke about seals being sea-puppies, they're much more closely related to bears.

There’s a reason why the leopard seal is the villain in every single penguin movie.

@joshuavaldivieso55 3 years ago

The way the leopard seal, thrashes it’s pretty in an arc format by thrashing, reminds of when crocs thrash their prey and do the death roll to get chunks of flesh out

Leopard seals are legit the only animal I'm scared of: one time years ago I saw a video of one emerging out of the darkness slowly towards the camera and that was it for me, been terrified ever since. People always sound so confused when I tell them, it's definitely not a common animal to be scared of haha. Glad to see I'm not the only one
