pubity: “ Leopard seals are one of the primary predators of penguins, using their speed and agility in the water to hunt them. Penguins often try to evade leopard seals by leaping onto ice floes or staying in large groups to reduce the risk of being singled out. Leopard seals typically wait near the edges of ice or underwater to ambush unsuspecting penguins as they enter or exit the water.”
