Leopard seals are to penguins as cats are to mice

National Geographic's November issue has the coolest picture of nature I've seen in a while: the "death shake". Don't look at it if you don't think you can stomach looking at the blood & innards of a penguin coming out the moment it's head is ripped off. About the expedition, they have a little clip from the photographer's perspective on studying the leopard seals, including more on how they got that photo. NG also has another short video about one leopard seal preying on penguins.

I haven't even seen March of the Penguins or Happy Feet yet, but I can't wait!
