A Leopard Seal Saving One of Us?

We owe this find to Brian Auer, the man behind Epic Edits, a massive and popular photography enthusiast blog.

Over a couple beers the other day he told us about National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen.




Brian, a fine photographer himself (and who will also be doing the Green Man T-Shirts photo shoot coming up on the 27th), interviewed Paul Nicklen and wrote a review about his book, Polar Obsession.

The video at right documents a leopard seal's attempt to save a fellow creature, in this case Paul Nicklen as he took some astounding shots while in the water with this huge animal.
