(They look somewhat like that Neverending Story dragon)
"Not only did the leopard seals not attack as some
predicted they would, they fed me penguins, followed me around, and
generally put on a nonstop show."
In the video above,
Nicklen explained how an encounter with one particular female leopard
seal was especially poignant. The animal had a head larger than a
grizzly bear's, and it took his camera and his head into its mouth.
But
instead of harming him, the seal began to "nurture" him. It began to
bring him penguins, first alive, then dead, perhaps assuming that he was
a "useless predator in her ocean."
The top predator
apparently tried to feed the weaker Nicklen for four days as he scuba
dived in the area, working on the assignment."
