Move penguin! Get out the way. Get out the way, penguin, get out the way. The photo was captured by underwater photographer Amos Nachoun in Port Lockroy, on the Antarctic Peninsula. Friggin’ circle of life is a real bitch sometimes. Tough to swallow. Can we talk about this leopard seal for a second?
Look at the extended neck, the head, that ferocious mouth and those razor teeth. That doesn’t look like a seal, it looks like a giant freaking anaconda. Don’t have an imagination? Here.
See? Put that in your nightmare pipe and smoke it.
Anyway, you can say this penguin got eaten, but how do you explain this photo of him that I’m positive was taken after a heroic escape.
