Went out to the Penguin ranch today to refuel....no penguins around, but this Weddell Seal popped up in the dive hole w/ a Toothfish (Antarctic Cod) in its mouth! First it seemed to show the fish to us w/ the head on....then it dove and a few minutes later came back and show us the 'No head version'. So cool....he was right there and the hut was all quiet and he's just breathing loudly, nostrils open then closed......who needs Penguins when the seals are this cool!
