According to the British "Daily Mail" report, when it comes to seals, people always think of their cute and embarrassing images, but Antarctic spotted seals attack humans and are quite fierce when preying. Recently, wildlife photographer Amos Natchum bravely dived into the southern ocean of Antarctica for a close contact with an Antarctic spotted seal, and took a group of rare photos of spotted seals smiling and preying.
The seal opened its mouth as if to swallow the photographer’s lens.
The seal followed the camera.
For ordinary photographers, it is very difficult to make their subjects smile naturally. For wildlife photographers, it is even more difficult to make their subjects smile naturally. But Amos did it, and he had taken a close-up photo of the big shark smiling before. This time he encountered a 12-foot-long Antarctic spotted seal.
Antarctic spotted seal is the top carnivore in the Antarctic ocean, which is quite dangerous. But Amos is also an experienced and brave underwater wildlife photographer. When Amos put the camera in front of the spotted seal, the spotted seal opened its mouth actively and kindly, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen’s sharp teeth. Of course, this cute image can’t hide its carnivorous nature. Amos then photographed its fierce image when it preys on penguins.
Ramos said, "Spotted seals are extremely sleek and fierce predators. They often quietly hide in some dark corners and wait for their prey to appear. In the face of unsuspecting penguins, spotted seals will take the initiative to attack and bite the penguin’s feet tightly. After they catch the penguin, they don’t swallow it immediately, but they drag their prey to the surface of the water and shake their prey until the penguin’s feathers are off, and then they eat the penguin. They don’t seem to like eating penguin feathers. It is worth noting that spotted seals will attack humans. "
