Following her death, an investigation based on 30 years of recorded interactions found that the seals are generally more likely to attack humans at the ice edge. Humans are not typical prey for leopard seals, but our shape is probably fairly similar to that of a penguin as we waddle along on the ice.
Leopard seals are large predators presenting a potential risk to humans. However, attacks on humans are rare. Most human perceptions of leopard seals are shaped by historic encounters between humans and leopard seals that occurred during the early days of Antarctic exploration. [42]
What are leopard seals. How big are they. What do they eat. Where do they live. Learn about their predators and their attack on humans with pictures.
There are no records of leopard seals attacking humans when they have been seen in advance, they will often interact with divers, showing great curiosity and often a rather disturbingly large open mouth full of big sharp teeth too!
In this post, we take a closer look at the Leopard seal and answer do Leopard seals attack humans? Yes, Leopard seals do attack and even kill humans. Although rare, Leopard seals will chase and bite humans and are very dangerous animals.
Leopard seals use their powerful jaws and long teeth to kill smaller seals, fish, and squid. These effective predators live in frigid Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters, where they also eat...
Leopard seals have unique cheek teeth that are shaped to allow them to strain krill from the water. Their loose jaw can open as far as 160 degrees. These seals swim so fast they can "jump" out of the sea onto the edge of the ice to get prey such as penguins.
