Animals amaze me every single day and stories I hear at the zoo sometimes blow me away with an animal’s intense concentration to detail, forward thinking, or surprising humanism. This is one of those stories . . .
I just read on National Geographic that one of their photographers had an encounter with a leopard seal in the waters of Antarctica. At first Paul Nicklen thought the seal was going to attack him but then the most surprising thing happened:
But instead of harming him, the seal began to “nurture” him. It began to bring him penguins, first alive, then dead, perhaps assuming that he was a “useless predator in her ocean.”
