What a fantastic thing! really well done and what a story!!!
WOW, looks like a great adventure :-D
ANTARCTIC, not Arctic.
Get it right. Leopard seals don't live at the North Pole, nor do penguins.
So this National Geo nature photographer goes to Antarctica and allows a leopard seal to continue to kill penguins for no purpose for four days? What is so great about this?
?? funny comment, you got me there for a moment :-)
Honestly, I think you didn't get the point (but I actually did get it)
Thanks for the catch. Fixed the post title :-)
No purpose? You can't be that stupid. Then again, some people are just that….
The vid is a fantastic look at nurturing in nature.

AmericaLover, that's a horrible thing to say. You're an ass.
This story is amazing!
It's called the Circle of Life
Absolutely awesome.r
Penguins in Antarctica are kinda like illegal Mexican immigrants in Arizona. You could loose a few thousand of them and no one would really care. There are plenty more where they came from!

Very interesting story!
this video is absolutely amazing. and there was purpose to this video and what the seal was doing. although the seal saw him as a predator, that seal did everything it could to make sure that the man would live. seriously?
