- Sea leopard, Leopard seals are mainly found around Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands. Some are seen further north, such as on the coasts of New Zealand and Australia, though these are vagrants that have ended up there by accident.
In the Antarctic, leopard seal diets seem to vary through the year. In summer they primarily feed on fish and krill, and in winter when the sea ice expands, they are mostly sustained by bountiful colonies of seals and penguins in the shallower waters.
Leopard seals have a well-documented taste for penguins and at up to 3.5 metres long and 500 kilogrammes, they outmatch any species of these aquatic birds. The seals patrol shorelines, often stationing themselves at colonies, waiting to ambush birds as they transit between land and sea. A 2009 report found that at one colony, 12-16% of the gentoo penguins were consumed by leopard seals.
Pars foku, fokgiller familyasından Güney Kutbu sularında yayılmış bir fok türü. İsmini lekeli derisi ve tüm foklar içinde en yırtıcısı olmasından alır. Penguenler ve genç foklar gibi sıcak kanlı diğer omurgalılar ile beslenmeyi tercih ederler.

Fun fact: these are about twice as big as a human, but you don't get that sense of scale since they lie on the ground
Exactly
They are 3-4 times larger than a human.

You did not say which is the largest species of seal down there. Why would you put that horrendous awful "music" with a natural scene? We want to hear the natural sounds of the place. Get rid of that horrible sounding stuff.
The biggest is elephant seal. I have its video in my channel with natürel voice.
THICK
