Leopard Seals
The leopard seal, named as such because of its black-spotted coat, is the second largest seal in the world. Its coat is similar to that of a leopard’s but instead of the golden color, the seal has a grayish coat. Leopard seals are vicious predators and feed on warm-blooded prey, including other seals. Their front teeth are very sharp, and they use their strong jaws to kill fish, squid, smaller seals, and even penguins. While leopard seals are considered dangerous, attacks on humans are quite rare, with the last fatal attack in 2003, when a female biologist who was snorkeling was killed by a seal.
