I am excited to live in Kentucky and learn about its ecology and sociology, having never been to the area…

Antarctic and some parts north of that combined with their diversified eating habits places them highly in marine mammals as a potential species to survive environmental changes. This essay connects an understanding of the population and foraging ecology of Hydrurga leptonyx with their future existence in relation to climate change. Currently, leopard seals are stated as a least concern in the Red List category, however the daunting effects of climate change may expedite a shift towards concern…
