Summary:
- Leopard seals, one of the largest predators in Antarctica, play a crucial role in shaping the ecosystem of the continent.
- These seals feed on a variety of prey, including penguins, fish, and krill, and their hunting patterns can have a significant impact on the abundance and distribution of these species.
- Researchers are studying the foraging behavior and hunting strategies of leopard seals to better understand their influence on the Antarctic ecosystem and how changes in the environment may affect these apex predators.
