    [A cute grey seal found clinging to rocks having been orphaned during last week's gales and torrential rain is being nursed back to health.The tiny all white seal was found cowering and shivering after storms battered its breeding grounds, separating it from its mother on the Channel Island of Jersey.Too young to fend for itself, the week old pup - nicknamed Barnacle - was taken in before being flown to an RSPCA animal centre, where it was yesterday being nursed back to full health.The West Hatch Animal Centre in Taunton, Somerset, takes rescued animals from all around the UK and has specialist facilities for seals.] (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)

    kayaking with a leopard seal near Danco Island, Antarctica. The Leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic (after the Southern Elephant Seal), and is near the top of the Antarctic food chain. It can live twenty-six years, possibly more. Orcas are the only natural predators of leopard seals. Females are generally larger than the males. The bulls are generally 2.5 m (8.2 ft) to 3.2 m (10.5 ft) and weigh between 200 kg (441 lb) and 453.5 kg (1,000 lb), while cows are between 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) and 3.4 meters (11.2 feet) in length and weigh between 225 kg (496 lb) and 591 kg (1,303 lb). In 2003, a leopard seal dragged a snorkeling biologist underwater to her death in what was identified as the first known human fatality from a leopard seal. However, numerous examples of aggressive behavior, stalking, and attacks on humans had been previously documented. The leopard seal has also been known to snap at people's feet through holes in the ice.

Die Bullen kšnnen bis zu sechseinhalb Meter gross und dreieinhalb Tonnen schwer werden, eine Kuh rund drei Meter und 900 Kilogramm. Zur Paarungszeit sammeln sich die ansonsten eher einzelgŠngerischen See-Elefanten zu grossen Kolonien. Ein Bulle kommt dabei auf zehn bis zwanzig KŸhe. Das Bild, aufgenommen auf Sea Lion Island (Falklandinseln), zeigt zwei Bullen, die um ihr Revier/Harem kŠmpfen. FOTO: DUKAS/SANDRA WALSER
