They have killed people in the Speak to any sealion trainer in a zoo or such who has been around a bit, and they will tell you that sealions can be very dangerous, not just good at balancing balls on their nose! Yeh they're not the grey seals you find off the coast here. My kids are into that deadly sixty nature program's and the guy did a quick dive with a leopard seal.

perthshire keeper 1,237 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yes the leopard seal is not only large and aggressive, but also designed to eat meat such as penguins and other seals rather than fish. They have killed people in the past. Speak to any sealion trainer in a zoo or such who has been around a bit, and they will tell you that sealions can be very dangerous, not just good at balancing balls on their nose! to be blunt they will weight what? 500kg? have a head like a pitbull on crack.....teeth live broken chestnut fence.....a brain the size of a golf ball and and hungry mofo`s......that is not a creature combination i would willingly go into a tank with 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delswal 3,817 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Sea rats thats all they are, ( well according to the Filey salmon fishermen they are ). Got myself a nice little job 4 years ago culling them, £20 a seal and a free supply of salmon and bass. Used to be a good little earner until the local bird watchers decided to inform their friendly animal rights activist friends, two burnt out boats later the fishermen decided that my services were no longer required Shame really the .308 liked a seal or two 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
