• Twelve kinds of cool.
• Sort of like having a cat bring you dead and dying birds, except the cat is 12 feet long and underwater.
• great!
• Maybe it's the painkillers talking, but that seal is so beautiful it made me cry. I love her whiskers. And this guy is obviously one hell of a photographer. The clean, liquid cold of the pictures is so real.
• One hell of a BRAVE photographer, by gum! I tried making friends with a client's two pit bulls one time, with a bit finger to show for it. What might a leapard seal do, worst case?
• Worst case? Kill you. Leopard Seals do indeed occasionally attack humans, one of Shackleton's crew was attacked by one, and there is one officially recognised fatality due to a Leopard Seal dragging a scuba diving researcher underwater to drown. There are many reports of aggression against humans from Leopard Seals, but for the most part they appear to be no more dangerous than the average large wild animal. I shouldn't think they are particularly vicious in comparison to most other large carnivores. They are puppies compared to the Polar Bear, which will rip your fuckin' 'ead orf soon as look at you.
