An adult male leopard seal dozes at the shoreline. I approached by stealth, crawling in to its tail end, to try and place a tag and GLS (geolocator) device
When I tried to put the tag into its hind flipper, the 3m long animal woke up and saw me
The seal gives its threat display, a wide-open mouth showing his teeth. Time to make a quick exit...
After this disturbance, the seal headed to the water. Hopefully he'll come back to give me another chance to tag him!
