The Leopard Seal

In the icy waters of Antarctica, it’s not easy being Jeremy the leopard seal. In fact, it’s downright lonely.

With his long, sleek body, lightning-fast swimming, and a mouth full of sharp teeth, Jeremy is one of the ocean’s fiercest predators. But today, he has a special mission: to make a friend.

Unfortunately, everywhere he goes, animals scatter in fear. It seems no one can look past his teeth to see the lonely creature behind them … until one small, unexpected friend sees something different.

Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they explore the fast, fierce, and fascinating world of one of Antarctica’s top predators: the leopard seal.
