Leopard seal and skua

Dreadful assembly on this iceberg from a penguin's point of view: leopard seal and Antarctic skua are their main predators.

The leopard seal often embushes penguins as they dive into the ocean or when they come back to the nest.

The antarctic skua is more keen on stealing eggs to the parents even though skua can attack penguin chicks as I witnessed it in South Shetland islands.
