An unusual visitor
Today was a beautiful winter's day in Fiordland.
Milford Sound was a great place to be.
The visitor pictured was spotted on the fisherman's wharf - had been there for several hours.
Leopard seals are second only to Orca's as predators in Antarctic oceans. They are known to be pretty vicious & have been known to attack humans. This one appears to be at the smaller end of the size scale, possible a young male (females are larger), but I was very wary; talking to him all the time so as not to surprise him.
