Hydrurga leptonyx, also known as leopard seal, are incredible creatures that possess traits of survival and adaptability. Their widespread residency throughout the Antarctic and some parts north of that area combined with their diversified eating habits, places them as a marine mammal with high potential 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 the threat of climate change. Currently, leopard seals are stated as of least concern in the Red List category, however the daunting effects of climate change may shockingly expedite a shift of additional concern for these species (Hückstädt, 2015). Leopard seals have a…

It was very expensive paper. Whoever sent this is rich I reminded myself. The paper had diamond black ink on it and was made out to my father.…
