well, did you at least took one bite of the penguin as a sign of courtesy?

Some days you're the leopard seal and some days your the penguin! What? Why are you looking at me like that? Open your mouth, it's a penguin

Anybody else think that blurry penguin leg close to the camera looks like a late 90's animation?!?

Route of Evolution for Penguins: get Suit up or be a Survivor. You can pick only one.

I’m sure this will go down in penguin folklore

People always say about sharks being scary. But even though I have never seen a leopard seal in real life they shit me up.

That's the best thing you've witnessed as a National Geographic photographer? Try telling that to 14 yr old kiddos checkin out the Africans!

All that leopard seal's hard work, and the dumb ass human still starved to death. It's a shame really.

No penguins were harmed in the making of this. Said no one ever

People don't think nature be harmonious like it is, but it do

Tell that to the penguins

So basically a photographer was clueless while being hit on by a Leopard Seal. Men: at least we're consistent (ly clueless).

His hand animations of the stages of penguin demise were very descriptive. 2/2

If he was smart he would be figuratively shitting himself for those entire 4 days, everything could have changed on a dime.

no one who thinks "oh let's film the top predator in the ocean up close" would be thinking that

What tiny grizzly bears has this guy seen?
Pouromatic
This is a National Geographic photographer, I'm willing to bet he's seen more grizzlies than you, and definitely more leopard seals
Whapowski
According to Wikipedia, large Grizzly Bears are 6.5 feet long and under 800 pounds. Leopard Seals reach 11.5 ft and over 1,300 pounds.
