Face-Off With a Deadly Predator | National Geographic

👍

That's how it always is, it's always the least vicious animal displays that turn out to be the worst ones. I tried to think of humans in that aspect, because when you come down to it, humans on the large scale can do a lot of destruction but if you go to each individual human they mostly yearn to live and be free and content with life.

A little barbecue sauce

“Potentially vicious animal”

My brother in Christ, ask the penguins. She just committed genocide against a colony of penguins none the wiser for your “benefit” 😭🤣

What a story tho absolutely wild

You obviously look malnourished, I would of done the same.

I feel bad for the other animals in the cold place I forgot

It's a female, it may be able to tell possibly that you are a male by some scent or something, maybe this is why it was friendly to you. I dare say if the seal was a male one, it probably would have just outright attacked you right there.

He should’ve ate it

「ヒョウアザラシ」南極海の凶暴なハンター。
ペンギンやアザラシを狙う。ヒレの前脚を使い時速４０㌔の早さ。鋭く尖った犬歯は５cmにもなる。メスの方が大きく６００kg近い。

This is so cute

Better she feed you than eat you!

tulen leopardi ma desive čelisti ,ledni medvěd by měl problém

I think she wants bang 😂😂😂😂

Would love to hear the penguins' side of the story.

Why are there no leopard seals in captivity ??

Such a beautiful and mysterious animal that potentially is the most intelligent and skilled predator that we are able to encounter.

Wow 😮

Why am l disappointed she didn't eat you alive

Wow… that’s the craziest story, I’ve ever heard in my life.

Dont play with these slippery killing machines. Respect to the photographer though. It shows how all animals have feelings, but they do what they do. You are at mercy with one of these animals.

Wow what an experience,

Read about this in an article in the newspaper by C Y Gopinath on 14th December 2021.

She put your head in her mouth? This doesn’t sound real… lol but everyone in the comments is crying so ok lol

Such a beautiful story

Just reheard the NPR segment. Beautiful stuff

We could have a hybrid humanoid leopard seal by now. Kidding

Ya but did you pet the Leopard Seal? That’s the trick … pictures mean nothing now!

Mommy Dom leopard seal

Viewers: what a wholesome story, the leopard seal is sharing food to hooman

Panguins: yeah right..

Youre saying, if a freaking leapord seal offered you food like a good boi, you wouldnt try a piece of penguin to make it happy? Poor vicious sea doggo…

Didn't one of those things drag a lady to her death?

What a nut.

the leopard seal was tryna husband him up lmaoo

She took your head in her mouth?

How are you alive?!

She didn't pull or bite...confusion

You saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! Eat the fricken penguin!

The seal did it for fame. She wants to be known. It paid off well for National Geographic.

Say on god

Why do Americans exaggerate all the time. I mean the story is crazy enough just telling the truth.

Plot twist : paul is a vegetarian.

Lol

Wonderful, useless predator, hope you and her Leopards are still in contact. Great story. Aroha from New Zealand. Nicko
