A few from Antarctica

Leopard Seal - reptilian in appearance and a ferocious hunter of penguins.

Gentoo Penguin amongst Whale bones

Gentoo penguin chicks - looking forlorn. I think I would look forlorn too if I was covered in feces!

Skua with its eggs on nest. Note the bones in front of the bird. Skuas prowl relentlessly throughout the penguin colonies attempting to pick off chicks

Nice pose with the leopard seal - doesn't look particularly ferocious in this shot. The bone dance with the Gentoo Penguin is a neat capture too. The Skua is another one that doesn't look like the predator you are describing with penguin chicks on the menu.

Looks can be deceiving

What a great series of images Alan.

That penguin with those whale bones.... wow those are huge bones!

The Leopard seal looks so friendly there, but I remember that they are really mean to penguins!
