That’s so crazy. And the actual photographs look so unreal they’re amazing!

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.

Ah dupe! That’s why it sounded so familiar. I’ve also corrected the video link, thanks Marilyn!

Thanks Marilyn for the correct link with the answer to “What happened next”- but both videos are awesome.

I love how he tells the story when he was at the TED conference.

Great photography and story. “Felt like I’d been hit in the head with a baseball bat.”

Crikey!

Yeah I didn’t see the “you’ll never believe what happened next” part either. Nothing happened as far as I can tell.

Interesting lead-in, but the flash on National Geographic is so frustratingly un-interactive that I gave up waiting for the “punch line”. There isn’t even a volume control on the video, that I could see…
