FACING REALITY: PENGUIN AND LEOPARD SEAL
"In Antarctica, where this was shot, adult Gentoo penguins don't go in the
water, but young chicks like this one do. Leopard seals look intimidating, but
they don't attack humans. Over the years, I've done a lot of research and
learned how to interact with these animals in the wild. That's why I have
perfect safety record in my 40 years of wildlife photography."
