Once Paul got into the frigid Antarctic water near the 13-foot leopard seal, she put on a threat display for a few minutes before finally relaxing. After a quick exit, she returned with a live penguin between her teeth. She let it go, it swam toward Paul, then fled. The leopard seal grabbed the penguin again and repeated this process about 10 times. Paul realized that she was trying to feed him. Since Paul couldn’t catch and eat the live penguins, the seal began to tire out the penguins. When that didn’t work, she began bringing him dead penguins. After a few rounds of dead penguins being dropped in front of his face, she started putting the penguin corpses on top of his head.
