The Friendly Leopard Seal

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets, Pictures on Jun 7, 2008 at 8:39 am


Paul Nicklen is a photographer for National Geographic Magazine. Over the course of several days last year, he developed a relationship with a 12-foot 1,000 pound leopard seal. She brought him penguins to eat and even tried to teach him how to hunt penguins! The story is told in a multimedia presentation on Nicklen’s work. Link -via Arbroath

    wow! these are great photos. I think it’s important to document the North because it is just so beautiful and full of activity. The Narwhal photos are my favourite out of the bunch.
