Out on the museum floor, behind construction barriers, a beautifully lifelike leopard seal was being carefully hung from the ceiling with the help of a mechanical lift.
But leopard seal is patient; it knows that it controls the playing field.
A leopard seal swims in turquoise waters just below the surface as a jagged Antarctic ice floe looms in the background.
The whales prefer weddell seals, which can be up to 11 feet long, rather than the more aggressive crabeater and leopard seals.
Even then, the penguins are cautious; they stay in the water only long enough to feed, and they're adept at remaining motionless when they're on thin ice and spot a leopard seal.
