一只成年的雌性花海豹做出恐吓的姿势，以吓退摄影师身后另一只花海豹的的致命攻击。“最可怕的还不是那些利齿”，摄影师写道，“而是她发出的似冲击钻一般低沉的让人撕心裂肺的声音。”她的表现很管用；对手游开了。

A mature female leopard seal makes a threatening gesture to protect her kill from another leopard seal that had appeared behind the photographer. “More frightening than the canines,” wrote the photographer, “was the deep jackhammer sound she let loose that rattled through my chest.” Her display worked; the rival seal moved on.
