National geographic PhotographyPhoto of the Day February 20, 2008 Leopard Seal, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica, 2006 Photograph by Paul Nicklen A mature female leopard seal makes a threatening gesture to protect her kill from another leopard seal that had appeared behind the photographer. "More frightening than the canines," wrote the photographer, "was the deep jackhammer sound she let loose that rattled through my chest." Her display worked; the rival seal moved on.

This is not a 'photo of the day,' but I thought it was post-worthy! [spoiler]  [/spoiler] | QUOTE | This unbelievable photo was taken by Frans Lanting for National Geographic. The caption reads, "Tinted orange by the morning sun, a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park."
The image can be found in the June issue of National Geographic, available on newsstands May 30th. |
