Leopard seals are aggressive predators, and National Geo photographer Paul Nicklen didn't quite know what to expect when he slid into the freezing Antarctic water with the largest leopard seal he'd ever seen. The leopard seal took Nicklen's head and camera into her mouth. But he couldn't believe what happened next.

It's amazing the things animals do... even the dangerous ones.

Ugh, leopard seals are on my list of creepy/scary animals. Also included are spiders, baboons and grizzly bears.

That's a lovely story... I've had a prejudice against leopard seals since my days as a child penguin enthusiast, but I think that put things a bit into perspective.

The photos are amazing and listening to what happened was amazing as well. Love it when animals do the unexpected (in a good way) lol.
