That young girl pulled in was a situation in Richmond, Canada the girl was unharmed. That was not a leopard seal. It was just a playful seal.

That's me Diving at 3:59 on my trip to Antarctica, The water was about 1- 3 degrees that day. Saw many Leopard seals, what a beautiful animal my personal favorite. Humans are not a part of there diet but they could accidentally drown you thinking you can hold your breath like they do.

One of these recently attacked three swimmers in South Africa, almost killing one of them. The guy is a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) master and his account of the vicious attack, is scary.
