    True that. But I just thought it moot to point out that there are human fatalities attributed to leopard seals. It's pretty much a given, since we're talking about nature here. Of all the large and unpredictable carnivores, leopard seals have probably the lowest involvement in human deaths. (Only three, last time I heard; granted, that's because there are few humans in their natural environment.) Am pretty sure that, as an expert in his field, he knew the risks getting into the water.

    You mean aggressive species like Woodlice, Doormice, grass snakes etc, etc. I'd wager you an unprecedented sum of cash, that there are more animals totally harmless to us than that could harm us?

    There are human fatalities attributed to pretty much every animal.

    I love how he declared his excitement in the most monotonous voice.

    0:15 -> Leopard seals are both one of the most beautiful yet also most terrifying creatures I've ever seen.

    Amazing story, though :)
