Quoted from rotordave:While we were down the port area, a huge Leopard seal came to have a chat to me.
He was over 2 metres (7ft) long.
He wasn’t a particularly good looking chappy but he seemed friendly enough.
These things eat the little penguins that nest along this coast.

He looks really old, and huge.
I'd forgotten they came so far North. From a quick Google, apparently some are even resident in the Auckland area now.
