Nat Geo photographer adopted by a 12 ft leopard seal

CT's hippo post led me to this.

Pretty fucking cool shit.

Paul Nicklen describes his most amazing experience as a National Geographic photographer - coming face-to-face with one of the arctic's most vicious predators.
Not only did he get to swim and take photos of a 12-foot leopard seal in the Antarctic (and didn’t get eaten), he was actually "adopted" by it!

Cool stuff (sort of reminds me of when I climbed the fence and got eaten at the zoo by a ten-foot capybara and the park rangers shot him.)
