Well done! Can you make a version where it's more of a piñata? If so, I may need to make that my desktop wallpaper.

[–]commentsurfer -1 points0 points ago

wtf are you talking about?? lol.

[–]FuriousMcRage 0 points1 point ago

This is a piñata. Soooo I meant can you make it so that the penguin is leaking candy and confetti instead of baubles and butterflies and all that jazz?

[–]dan_sundberg 2 points3 points ago

No wonder that penguin is dead... he was filled with candy and butterflies

[–]ProstheticBabe 0 points1 point ago

Very well done!

[–]mostirrelephant 207 points208 points ago

TIL Seals are fucking metal.

[–]macgillweer 226 points227 points ago

I hope that penguin is okay.

[–]Fergood 78 points79 points ago

Yeah man he'll be okay, no need to lose your head over it.

[–]2Legit2Bacquitted 37 points38 points ago

[–]ColonInvader 8 points9 points ago

OH GOD.

How can that even happen?

[–]rudmad 4 points5 points ago

The look in the bird's eye at the end always gets me

[–]xenoph2 6 points7 points ago

That bird probably died of infection shortly thereafter.

[–]JTMTL 1 point2 points ago

I thought the same thing for a couple of days. Some how that group of photos messed up my mind. It's kinda like, you're dead but it has not happened yet.

[–]EltaninAntenna 1 point2 points ago

Well, seagulls do have radical bastard immune systems... Have you seen the stuff they eat?

[–]SpikeKintarin 12 points13 points ago

That awkward moment when you think seals are really cute...

[–]porkboi 12 points13 points ago

That awkward penguin.

[–]Mr-Tiggo-Bitties 1 point2 points ago

This awkward ending to a joke

[–]Charleybucket 23 points24 points ago

I've been trying to spread the word about seals for a while now. Ever since a group of psycho seals chased me down and tried knocking me out of my kayak(true story). I've since made it my life's mission to promote seal clubbing.
FUCK SEALS!!

[–]kaspiCZ 0 points1 point ago

A hunt party for the bucket?

[–]silencer47 4 points5 points ago

Can we start clubbing tigers too? HUMAN POWER!

[–]laikasghost 3 points4 points ago

I wouldn't try that.

[–]silencer47 1 point2 points ago

Il just club it with my gun... with bullets

[–]apres123 0 points1 point ago

Reddit's Worst Nightmare: I'll club it with my swagg. LOL, YOLO.

[–]silencer47 0 points1 point ago

Oye vey...

[–]uk2knerf 1 point2 points ago

Fuck you tigers are awesome

[–]Shop-S-Mart 0 points1 point ago

...at being clubbed?

[–]Flix1 0 points1 point ago

Let me know where that club is, I haven't gone out partying in a long time, sounds fun!

[–]xenoph2 0 points1 point ago

They gotta eat too, y'know.

[–]nthepromisedland 1 point2 points ago

Poor penguin, that bites.

[–]1234ape 0 points1 point ago

I seal what you did there

[–]apres123 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, or your spine or some other vital organs. Ahahaha!

[–]codythomashunsberger 18 points19 points ago

He's just sleeping.

[–]Sockpockets 17 points18 points ago

He's just practicing his yoga, neck stretches lead to proper circulation you know...

[–]talex95 2 points3 points ago

I think the last thing he wants is better circulation.

[–]Infant-Blender 2 points3 points ago

Penguin doctors have come a long way, I'm sure it'll be alright

[–]melini 16 points17 points ago

Just leopard seals. Terrifying.

[–]beckzilla 8 points9 points ago

what an asshole, if someone offers you food, you should take it. I expect him to eat every last one of those penguins

[–]JTMTL 0 points1 point ago

He's lucky she didn't want to make love after. She seems a lonely Leopard Seal.

[–]dbbo 8 points9 points ago

Leopard seals eat other fucking seals.

Just fucking look at this thing.

[–]alakalemon 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit, those things are scary. Their teeth are huge!

[–]RyudoKills -1 points0 points ago

The tuskless horker. Scary stuff.

[–]dbbo 1 point2 points ago

Horkers are fag ass pussies next to leopard seals.

[–]SilverAg11 10 points11 points ago

Until the orcas show up

[–]ZeekySantos 12 points13 points ago

Ever see Orca playing with their food? It's like water polo with a seal carcass.

[–]NiteShadeX2 8 points9 points ago

Or a still barely alive trying desperately to get away carcass.

[–]mostirrelephant 0 points1 point ago

Well i already knew that. Orcas are awesome.

[–]masturbateToSleep 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure they aren't made out of metal

[–]lvii22 61 points62 points ago

If you look really closely, you can see that the penguin is actually dead

[–]iamjamin 20 points21 points ago

Doctor here. I can confirm that he is dead.

[–]MisterNiceGuy001 0 points1 point ago

Skeptic here, I'm not so sure...

[–]commentsurfer 2 points3 points ago

I concur.

[–]dylanroo 0 points1 point ago

Objection!

[–]boxingdude 0 points1 point ago

I'm not a doctor. But I spent the night at a holiday inn express. He looks dead.

[–]Evenged7x 1 point2 points ago

Affirmative, I poked one, it was dead

[–]Waldamos 0 points1 point ago

Wrong thread, upvote for reference anyway.

[–]Silversol99 -1 points0 points ago

It's not dead, it's sleeping.

[–]hermes3000 65 points66 points ago

[–]GingerTats 1 point2 points ago

I would have at least held on to a penguin so she wasn't so upset. That dick.

[–]Soviet_Waffle 7 points8 points ago

Seel used bite.

It's a critical hit!

Piplup fainted.

[–]manyballs 5 points6 points ago

For some weird reason... I found this picture to be beautiful.

[–]chthonodynamis 11 points12 points ago

Damn Nature! You scary!

[–]penguinplatypus 1 point2 points ago

I was expecting a dead man....

But I ended up seeing my father... :'(

[–]boesse 3 points4 points ago

FYI, a leopard seal killed a diver in Antarctica several years ago. Here are the bite marks from her skull.

I've written a little about the case here. I'm a paleontologist, and am interested because I've identified and published on similar bite marks in the seal fossil record.

Here's the original paper if you're so inclined: http://www.springerlink.com/content/p116unx8023761m6/

[–]idunham 20 points21 points ago

This kills the penguin

[–]midnightsnacks 2 points3 points ago

At first I thought it was a walrus killing a killer whale >.> what the fuck?

[–]whoopzzz 2 points3 points ago

I have a friend who loves penguins. I routinely send pictures of cute penguins. Guess I found my next picture...

[–]joe_canadian 2 points3 points ago

I have no idea why this is considered gory. It's nature at work, as brutal and remorseless as it is.

[–]erryday_IAm_rustling 1 point2 points ago

The definition of gory is basically bloody. This picture is pretty bloody. Most meals involving meat are gory in some way.

[–]Octopuz 0 points1 point ago

THIS IS FUCKING HORRIFIC!! But even I have to admit it's pretty bad ass... I saw this for the first time on a TED talk and shortly thereafter google imaged "penguin" (like I do) and found that someone had knitted - or something to that effect - a doll of this exact photo. Wish I could find it...

I work with seals. They are cute. But also the most vicious little fuckers that ever did live. Their big seal eyes give them that puppy dog look and then they turn around to bite a chunk out of your arm.

[–]moppeez 0 points1 point ago

Smaller seals probably eat mostly krill, but also squid and fish. Larger leopard seals probably switch from krill to more substantial prey, including king, adelie, rockhopper, gentoo and emperor penguins, and less frequently, other seals such as the crabeater seal.
