Will That Fat Photographer Stretch To Dinner As Well As Lunch ?

(Details in the AltText) (Probably A Repeat)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_

White

This is a black and white wildlife photo of a Leopard Seal lying on an small ice floe in the partly frozen seas off Wiencke Island, Antarctica (2024). 

The lower quarter of the image is filled with small pieces of broken sea ice with slushy, nearly frozen sea water between the chunks of ice. The rest of the photo has a rough, uneven surface of larger, rock like, boulders of ice. Lying on one of the smooth and flat pieces of ice is an adult Leopard Seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) - sometimes called a Sea Leopard. The seal's body is aligned towards the camera while the head is angled nearly 90º to the left: it's left eye looking at the camera. The head is almost reptilian in appearance. The top of the long and streamlined body is dark, while the undersides are pale. Behind the head the skin is mottled with short, thin, black strips. The left flipper is hidden, while the right is partially in view behind the head. There is a long thin scar stretching from the top of the head to nearly the tail. There is a further, thick scar extending downwards on the right side of the chest. The tail is spotted both dark and pale and angled to the left. 

The leopard seal lives in the waters surrounding Antarctica, can grow between 2.5-3.5 metres long and weigh from 200-600 kgs. They can live up to 25 years and since they are an apex predator, live longer than the lifespan of the average penguin which might reach 15 years if it manages to avoid hunting Leopard Seals and Orcas.
