Podcasts about leopard seal

National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen details how a leopard seal spent several days trying to feed him penguins

Wellington boasts some pretty cosy spots for seals to shelter away from chilly southerlies. A rarely spotted leopard seal with a nasty bite was found bathing in the rain on Freyberg Beach on Tuesday, hours after a fur seal pup was found warming his flippers on Ngauranga's train tracks. DOC's Marine Reserve ranger for the Kāpiti-Wellington District, Tony Milner, has been tending to wandering marine life all week - after an elated Eastbourne resident woke up to a pup on his doorstep at the weekend. He says seals are "popping up here, there and everywhere lately". Milner spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There were certain environmental issues that I could barely talk about in my classes. Topics like animal suffering were simply too difficult for me to cover. I remember showing a video in class almost 25 years ago now of emaciated whales who were starving due to human over-fishing.I sat in that darkened classroom with tears rolling down my face. Yes, these emotions made me want to focus on solutions, but they also made me feel ashamed of my reaction. After all, I was the professional, and the university lecturer educating my students on these topics from a scientific perspective.Years later, I became more deeply interested in inter-species connections and stories of biological reciprocity as well as our own emotional connection to nature. One such story comes to mind of the Canadian nature photographer and marine biologist, Paul Nicklen, also founder of the SeaLegacy charity. Paul was in Antarctica to photograph the Leopard Seal.These are top predators in the ecosystem, coming in at up to 3.4m in length and 600kg (1,300 lbs). Their heads are about twice the size of a grizzly bear with enormous teeth. Paul's account of interacting with a large female Leopard seal is riveting, and a prime example of biological reciprocity across species.In fact, the internet is full of examples of inter-species empathy and friendships! Is it really any wonder that we have these social connections when our very biology is linked? So as we have a deeper understanding of the connections between us and the natural world, here is what to do with those emotions of shame that you might have.First, understand that they are completely natural, there are examples of inter-species empathy all around us. Then realize, that the fact that we are not alone, but rather interconnected with all of life can make us feel hopeful. This hope then can lead us to take action and make the world better for the many varied beings of our planet.If you are interested in exploring these issues further, head on over to my website, KristinaHunterFlourishing.com.While you are there, sign up for the Flourishing Fridays newsletter. It is your weekly guide to Sustainable Wellbeing and effective environmental action.If you are a professional woman and are deeply concerned about climate change and the state of the world that we are leaving to future generations and want some guidance on the best steps to take.

In leopard seals, females are larger than males, which is more common in aquatic animals than it is in terrestrial animal species. During the breeding period PALAOA detects vocalizations of both male and female leopard seals. Due to the fact that leopard seals are solitary animals, they are thought to use their vocalizations mainly to find a mate during the breeding season. Seven distinct leopard seal vocalizations were recorded.  Recording credit: CC-BY 4.0 Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research 2022.

Graham surprises wildlife photographer, Paul Nicklen, with a taped question from pro-surfer, Kelly Slater about his intense encounter with a leopard seal in Antarctica.

Lower Hutt locals got a large and somewhat furry surprise as they walked on Petone beach this morning. A leopard seal decided to park up for a nap, and while it seemed relaxed, there was concern about people getting too close. Rosie Gordon and cameraman Angus Dreaver went to check it out - from a distance.  

We go back to the ocean and way down under to Antarctica to cover a top predator, the Leopard Seal. Besides Orcas, nothing can match this top dog of our southern oceans. Leopard Seals are notorious for hunting penguins, as well as other small and medium sized animals. Yet, they have so much mystery about them and are very much understudied. Of what we do know, will fascinate you. This week we talk about everything Leopard Seals and also have a brief chat about the "Doomsday Glacier," which we all need to be made aware of.  For those interested, as mentioned in the podcast, the NOAA Sea Level Riser Viewer can be accessed HERE  For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.

The holidays have come to the Bite Club Arena!....debatably. It's the unicorn of the sea sparring with a floppy leopard in a rubber suit. That's right. It's the Narwhal Vs a Leopard Seal! 10 minutes on the clock

Not only is Kelvin Trautman fast becoming a household name in the adventure photography and filmmaking space in South Africa but he is a man that finds himself gravitating towards work that serves a bigger purpose. This has translated into Kelvin travelling to some of the most remote and wild locations on the planet to practice his craft in extreme and unpredictable environments. His purpose? To tell those all important environmental stories that the world needs to hear. But his journey didn't start there. In this podcast we chat with Kelvin about how his career has developed to the point that it has, his sportive pursuits as a younger man, his love for the great outdoors and the lessons he has learned along the way. From sailing to swimming the greek islands to escaping Leopard Seal attacks, Kelvin has a fascinating story to tell. After wrapping up this podcast, we quickly realised that this will have to be part 1 of many conversations with Kelvin as we didn't event scratch the surface. Enjoy!

Let's finally talk about something that exists in Antarctica. Great idea, but why did it have to be Satan's son?  Flora has feelings about wet boys that eat tuxedo boys. We answer questions like: What is a pinniped? What's the difference between a seal and a sea lion? How many krillion krill are there in the ocean? Do seals do the worm or can they walk on their flippers? Does the leopard seal need conservation help? Or should we just leave it to it's own devices since it has chosen a life of absolute sin?

In this episode we will be discussing the elephant seal, the leopard seal and the baikal seal! Join us to learn some fun facts about these pinnipeds as we discuss why they are so cool!

In this episode, I interview NOAA scientist and Leopard Seal researcher, Dr. Doug Krause. He specializes in predator/prey interactions of Antarctic species, in particular Leopard Seals and Antarctic Fur Seals. During the interview, he explains how new innovative techniques like attaching “critter cams”, have opened up the once private world of the Antarctic’s most elusive predator. Other topics include traveling to Antartica, penguins, and recent findings about Leopard Seal ecology.For more information, please visit: https://swfsc.noaa.gov/textblock.aspx?id=551&ParentMenuId=42Leopard Seal vs. Leopard Seal Video: https://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/expedition-raw/00000155-c096-dc79-aff5-e6ff92320000Follow Corbin MaxeyWebsite: https://corbinmaxey.com YouTube: https://goo.gl/ZbuBnRInstagram: https://goo.gl/NDYWFF Twitter: https://goo.gl/F4zVfNFacebook: https://goo.gl/ZsE1SP
