Image ID: 25575 Species: Leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx Location: Cierva Cove, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | A crabeater seal, hauled out on pack ice to rest. Crabeater seals reach 2m and 200kg in size, with females being slightly larger than males. Crabeaters are the most abundant species of seal in the world, with as many as 75 million individuals. Despite its name, 80% the crabeater seal's diet consists of Antarctic krill. They have specially adapted teeth to strain the small krill from the water.
