My wife tried to feed me dead penguins on our first date too.

Amazing story and photos Sunstone.

Awww. What a cute seal. :danana:

 

[Smoke]

Amazing story. Sorry for the penguins, though.

The guy said he was there for four days. I wonder if he ate any penguins in that time. He didn't say. I don't think we should let Gentoo see this thread though.

That is so cool, and that leopard seal reminds me my dad, if you visit, he will keep trying to stuff all kinds of manky food in your face, and look disgusted and hurt if you don't eat it.

I wonder if he ever got offered the same penguin twice?

 

[Kerr]

Only thing I can say is... wow.

truly amazing. i wonder what she was thinking. he didnt look like one of her young, but if he thought he also was a predator like her, then why help? why not kill the competition.

Damn I want to be a nature photographer. * sigh *. How does a body get into that racket anyway?

 

[MissAlice]

Omg...what the heck was this guy thinking to shooting up so close to a leopard seal?

Those things have been known to kill people...

Very awesome story and I always wondered if animals were capable of adopting or taking care of other species like humans almost in the same way we do them.

That is pretty amazing. Maybe it was a female that had lost a pup? Who knows.

But yeah, if she was intent on killing him, he wouldn't be talking to us about it.

 

[Black_Shuck]

Wow that is both amazing and endearing.

 

[Buttercup]

Thanks for posting the video...very interesting, sweet and scary too. That was a HUGE sea leopard!
