Adorable: A leopard seal gazes into the camera with its prey - an Adelie penguin - above it
Gazing into the underwater camera, this leopard seal may look adorable but it is a ruthless predator that has an animal side too.
Moments after this image was captured, it snatches an Adelie penguin and gobbles it down in Antarctica.
The remarkable pictures are part of a new book being published by an award-winning cameraman who has captured footage in some of the world's most remote locations.
