    Leopard seals have adapted to survive in the harsh Antarctic environment in several ways. They have a streamlined body for efficient swimming, thick blubber to stay warm in freezing waters, and can survive in sea temperatures as low as -5°C. Their large front flippers, strong jaws, and sharp teeth allow them to be a top predator in the Antarctic ocean.
