Macquarie Island 1968: Visiting Leopard Seal
From an old slide. At various times through the year, we were visited by Leopard Seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) which normally live in the sea ice around Antarctica. They gave an almost reptilian impression and moved quite slowly with a caterpillar motion on land: in the water they were superbly manoeuvrable. They also were able to open their jaws to an incredible extent, showing most impressive teeth (though sadly this one was not preforming for the camera).
