Not the Leopard Seal.... it's a predator..... at 3 meters [10ft] 500kg
[1100lbs] it would prove awesome. Walrus up in the arctic have been known to
sink boats and kill hunters as well. Not all seals are friendly and
cute..... most are very tasty! ;-D

How true. Seal steak fried on a shovel blade :-)

Leopard seals are scary because, like crocs, they can, will and do
come out of the water after prey. You need to watch what you're doing
near the edges of icefloes, esp if there are penguins around.
