- Synopsis
- Ages 8-12 Weighing in at about 800 pounds (363 kilograms), the leopard seal has a hard time moving around on land. But in the water, few animals stand a chance against this amazing predator. The leopard seal hunts among the ice flows of the Antarctic, catching fish, krill, and penguins. Its speckled gray coat helps it blend in with the waves while it hunts. Its whiskers pick up vibrations in the water to help it find its prey. And its pointed, inch-long (2.5-centimeter) teeth make it a match for any animal that crosses its path. All of these features make the leopard seal one of the most effective predators of the Antarctic.
