Leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx. From my last trip to Antarctica in 2015. Weighing up to 350kg these are the second largest pinniped species in Antarctica. They are spectacular predators feeding on penguins, other seals, fish, and krill. They are also sleek, fast, and serpentine looking. Without ice this magnificent creature won't survive #photography #wildlife #pinniped #Antarctica #leopardseal #wildlifephotography #climatechange #climateemergency
