I see a lot of people here saying that this seal seems sad and lonely. I would encourage you all to remember that leopard seals are solitary, aggressive, and territorial. They live out a majority of their lives alone and are only ever sighted with more than one individual at a time during mating season and usually only in pairs. Housing two in one enclosure for long periods of time could get ugly.

Plus, females are larger than males. It’s true. If you put a female with the male in here, there would be blood.

That leopard seal died from starving itself. And it's the only known leopard seal to have ever been held In captivity. He was rescued from shark bites.

Ok, for all of you animal experts down there, he's in captivity due to a shark bite. He's not lonely, leopard seals are solitary animals. They can't release him due to fear of spreading diseases to the leopard seal population, he was deteriorating. They tried to save him, they couldn't. They had to euthanize him. Ok? Sheesh.

Rip Casey, at least he lived a good life Here’s some fun facts Leopard seals are semi apex predators, they feed on squid, fish, penguins, and even other seals found in their area. Mainly solitary, they will however come to pair when it is mating season.

In case you were wondering, this seal was rescued from a beach after having been attacked by a shark. They decided that releasing him back into the wild would pose a disease risk to the wild population, which is why he was kept captive. He was the only captive leopard seal in the world.

To all the "experts" without license: 1) that seal was there (and the other one) because she was found in critical condition on a beach after a shark bite. During the long period of healing he was abituated to receive food and cares from humans and this compromised the possibility to be released in the sea 2) he was not alone (and even it was, it would have been normal, since leopard seal are usually solitary predators), there's another seal whit him
