On one of the pieces, a small colony of Emperors lived, absent of any visible predators. The more astute of you probably know the threat that Leopard Seals pose to both Penguins and Humans alike, so our study was undertaken with extreme caution. The majority of our group stayed on the boat, whereas five of us went into the water, with three of the remaining others scouting for potential Seal hazards nearby.At first, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Penguins seemed relatively docile around us, as they plunged into the freezing waters in the search for food. Honestly, I was too busy fucking off with one of my colleagues when heard that there was a Seal sighting nearby. I corroborated it by looking to my lower left in the dark blue water to see the mangy thing looking directly at my peer.Regular procedures go as follows: Don’t panic. You panic, they could become aggressive, you remain still, they’ll probably just stare at you curiously. All the Penguins had noped out, rocketing to the nearest piece of solid footing within the blink of an eye, so the water around us was empty. Just the shifting of the ice, breathing, and the sound of the seal twirling its way over to us.About five feet in length, the Leopard Seal didn’t display itself as much of a threat, its beady black eyes simply scouting us up and down. I was half-tempted to pat it on the nose as it turned its head my way, but I quickly realized how swiftly I could lose a few fingers, so the thought subsided before it made itself known.It didn’t do anything out of the ordinary when it met us. It retrieved a single Penguin, somewhat-injured, for us to “eat”, but nothing notable happened.Until it dove beneath us.
