| A very scary and large leopard seal. This species of seal is known for its massive reptilian-like head and jaws that allow it to be one of the top predators in its environment. |

| This guy was very inquisitive as we drove by. Their heads and teeth are huge. |
 |
| They do attack people and pretty much eat anything they want. Their only natural enemy is the killer whale. |
