The Leopard Seal is a large marine mammal found primarily in the cold waters of the Antarctic and surrounding regions. It can grow up to 10.5 feet (3.2 meters) in length and weigh between 440 to 1,000 pounds (200 to 450 kilograms). Known for its distinctive spotted coat, the leopard seal is a skilled predator, primarily feeding on krill, fish, and even other seals.
Leopard seals are known for their powerful jaws and sharp teeth, which they use to catch and consume their prey. They are solitary animals, often seen resting on ice floes or swimming alone. Despite their fierce reputation, they are also known for their curious nature and have been observed interacting with humans in the wild.
