 Cold Killer

The director of the Hunters of the Wild Lands Museum are seeking nominations for predators to be recognized in their exhibits. When most people hear the word predator, they think of lions, wolves, and sharks. But what about the Leopard Seal? Because of its unique skills and amazing features, the Leopard Seal is a perfect addition to the HOW Museum.

One reason why the Leopard Seal deserves a place in the HOWL museum is because of its huge, powerful jaws. The Leopard Seal’s front teeth are sharp like those of other carnivores, but its molars lock together in a way that allows it to sieve, or filter, krill from the water. The Leopard Seal can open its mouth very wide.

Another reason why the Leopard Seal deserves a place in the HOWL museum is because it is fast on land and on water, so it has no problem catching its prey on land or water. The Leopard Seal grab the prey with its feet and thrash them back and forth until the prey is dead. The Leopard Seal can swim so fast that it can “jump”.

The last reason why the Leopard Seal deserves a place in the HOWL museum is because of its hunting habits. The Leopard Seals stay under the water to catch its prey; for example, a seal will wait for a penguin to go in the water and then catch it.The Leopard Seal eats krill, seabirds, fish, and also penguin. Did you know Leopard Seal are the only seal that eats other seals?

Although many people may think that a leopard seal may be slow or lazy, it is not. Its the perfect predator for the HOWL museum because of its amazing skills. This is what I think about the leopard seal.
