      No, leopard seals very very rarely attack humans, and they never hunt us (most attacks are deemed to be territorial, relating to hunting grounds). So combine the rarity if the attacks in general and the fact this isn't a hunting ground. It would be super unlucky for the girl to have been attacked.

      No leopard seal has ever eaten a human. The 1 and only human killed by a leopard seal was not eaten (and the other scientists think she was killed by accident). They can still attack you {or hurt you by accident} so caution is healthy. But they won't be likely to try and eat you (although they are perfectly capable of eating us if they ever try)

    Guys calm down with the "Oh its dangerous" comments, there is a good distance between the humans and the seal and seals generally don't move fast enough on land to catch humans, let alone tired seals, so the people are ok. You are acting like they are trying to pet it or something.

    • @AnnaMarianne
      @AnnaMarianne 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      It's not really only a question of the well-being of the humans, it's also a question of the well-being of the animal. Wild animals are often stressed if humans get too close, and even more so if those humans move around and make loud noices. I get it you are interested in the animal and want to see it well, but the considerate thing to do is to move away and watch silently from a distance.
      That all said, this video is of a once in a lifetime encounter, and yes, I'm jealous!

      you're right, but stressed out/exausted predators can act irratically, especially if cornered. For all we know the advent of people on both sides are freaking it out as well. No matter what state its in, its still could be dangerous. Probably not something you bring the kids to the front row for.
