I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t realize there was a distinct difference between sea lions and a leopard seal. When a National Geographic photographer traveled to Antarctica his only goal was to photograph the reputed predator, but what actually happened is more proof that animals and nature are more intelligent and wonderful than we ever give them credit for.
To watch the entire encounter between the photographer and leopard seal, click play below! It’s absolutely incredible footage of a beautiful and rare creature.
