Deadly Beauty-Leopard Seals

National Geographic Magazine

This large female who befriended me contstantly released penguins in front of me, in an effort to teach me how to hunt. She spent days trying to feed me penguins. Only the -1c (28F) water forced me to end the encounters. It was the greatest wildlife encounter of my life.
