Welcome to Leopard Seal Archive! My name is Till and this will be an account where I share photos and videos of captive leopard seals.
The world of captivity for leopard seals is quite fascinating, and I’m very excited to start this account.
@LSealArchive Np :) actually if it’s any interest, I wonder if you could identify who this is 🤔 I was flipping through a book on Australian marine mammals in an antique store and found this with no further annotations other than captive pinnipeds. Book was older than any of Tarongas leps
@robot_pup OOUUU!!! wait this is really interesting.. the pool doesnt look anything like napier or atlantis, do you happen to remember when this book was printed?
@LSealArchive Oh, idk how this ended up on Facebook but that’s a pic of my postcard XD here’s the back if you’d like. Someone did dm me for clearer photos of it once
While digging for more on the Marineland Napier leopard seals, I found out that apparently one of their leopard seals escaped the enclosure, found themself in the Hector's Dolphins enclosure, and killed one of the dolphins? I'm currently searching for an official source.
