August 23: Sun basking Leopard Seal

This Leopard seal was basking in the sun this afternoon on the west beach near the Isthmus. The fellow has such a beautiful pelt, and such tiny whiskers compared to the fur seals!

August 6: Leopard seal

Our first Leopard seal visitor. Just another beautiful creature taking a break...nothing to support the anthropomorphised view of evil and darkness that we humans so readily accept of many of the top order predators.
