National Geographic photographer's encounter with a leopard seal

I just watched a video on MSN about a photographer who went to the Antarctic to film leopard seals. This leopard seal was massive. Instead of trying to hurt him like the photographer was afraid it might do it fed him penguins. This is one of the most amazing things I've heard. It reminds me of all the stories about dolphins saving people. I am an avid wildlife fan and wish very badly to be a biologist some day. This video blew me away and made me cry. It was just so beautiful.

2. The seal probably thought "Poor seal! He must be starving to be so small!"
