Animal Life

Leopard seals have brown skin and are silver underneath it’s slippery body it has very sharp teeth and vary long teeth. It has a powerful jaw so it can rip off big pices of flesh. They are the second biggest animals in Antarctica. They can hunt down almost everything in Antarctica because they hunt in groups but will not eat its food if too small. It has strong eyesight and smell so it can track down its food easier but is earless. They are a very fast swimmer. Its main food is a penguin.


They have to try and keep their food away from the killer whales but some of the leopard seals do go because the leopard seals are the killer whales main food. Their breeding time is November to December.

Leopard seals can be very dangerous. So they can spot things.

Killer whales have black colored skin with white spots just after their very small eyes. It has big tail but has bad eyesight. They have around seventy centimeter long teeth and have a lot of teeth. It is
Almost the smallest whale but is so fierce that still hunts down a blue whale. It is the only whale in the dolphin family. It is not in danger so they live for a while. The males can grow to around seven meters long and the females can grow up to five meters. The calves can grow to around two and a half and weigh three hundred to four hundred pounds.

They hunt in groups of around a hundred. The father swims in the outside while the mothers swim in the centre with their calves. They mainly hunt seals but if they spot a penguin they will eat it to.

A Killer whale is dangerous to humans and is a very fierce so be careful.

Salmon sharks have smooth brown skin and silver colored smooth skin underneath the body. It grows up to ten feet long. It almost as nine pounds of strong muscle to make able to reach up to fifty miles per hour. It will die if it stopped moving so it has heat-giving muscles to help it stay alive from the icy cold water. It is deadly to Antarctica because it eats a lot of the most special food so the supplies go down for the animals that eat fish and squid witch is cold blooded so it is harder to stay alive with out freezing to death. Salmon sharks have no recorded strikes at humans that have been recorded so it doesn’t attack humans.
Salmon sharks have a lot of speed so it can hunt down its food easier then if it didn’t have another speed.

The animals are all dying because of us humans and if we don’t act fast all of the animals will go extinct. That’s why we need to stop the pollution going in the sea because all of the pollution is being carried.
