the amount of distace that penquin cleared while jumping out of the water was super impressive

[@koboldcatgirl]

Top theories: 1. The seal was already full, and was mostly just toying with the penguin. 2. The seal was less comfortable on land, and the penguin's threats to peck it got it irrationally spooked. I mean, its eyes were right there within reach. 3. The seal spared the penguin on a genuine merciful whim. It's possible! Animal brains are strange. 4. The seal was tired, and didn't want to keep chasing the penguin if the penguin was going to keep escaping it.

[@marcocortes9968]

5. They somehow communicated at the end, and the seal decided to spare it. Honestly, its crazy how the seal got closer each time and the penguin didn’t even try to move away.

I fully expected this video to make me sad. Instead, it was inspiring at first and then really confusing.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Leopard seals are probably the most (and if not _the_ most, then certainly in the top 10!) aggro seals/pinnipeds. But even they are still seals, and share two psychological traits in common with their gentler cousins: curiosity and a love of play. All large-brained creatures love to play; it's mental exercise, and the smarter the critter, the more creative their playtime gets. Had this seal been hungry or even just feeling a little peckish, that birb would have been toast. Instead, as traumatizing for the penguin as it was, the seal decided to just play with it, and hone his/her own skills and have a bit of fun. It's a lot like how cats will play with small animals; sometimes they'll kill them, and sometimes they won't.

Could it be that the seal was just curious/playful?

[@BillKinsman]

I am always amazed by the camera shots! How in the world do they get such perfect videos? I imagine that there are a lot of outtakes!

[@whyutrippingbro4002]

I’m no expert here guys but it looks like the seal just wanted to play.

[@onez8978]

Whyutripping Homie exactly, they always like to amp it up for spectacular ratings. It was definitely playing, the seal could have had him on multiple occasions during the pursuit

[@whyutrippingbro4002]

[@kaisac.]

The seal was for sure not actually trying to kill it but it's the equivalent of a lion chasing you around to play

[@jaegerwolftango186]

Y’all realise these things play with their food, right? And yeah, you’re right. You AREN’T an expert. These guys are.

[@shereefghoneim4390]

Take this with a grain of salt, but I remember reading an article saying that leopard seals will toy with penguins even when they're full. Sometimes the seal will kill the penguin even if it doesn't eat it, but I'd guess most of the time its not worth the energy to do so. Regardless, not a fun situation for the penguin lmao

People can never be smarter than animals regardless of what they think of themselves, the seal teaching a hard lesson his prey; weak or young penguin and just had a mercy on him, that is amazing.

My god these videos are a damn spectacle. It’s almost like they trained them both for this little action scene encounter. Nature is beautiful. Surreal. I love it. They even chopped it up at the end like “damn , what fun today, you’re good to go” 😂

[@atis9061]

BBC has the very best nature docs. This is completely fascinating, there seems to be another kind of understanding that is going on besides just animal instinct. Something developmental, even social that is occurring with these two🤔
