Description:

Leopard seals are conspicuous apex predators in Antarctic coastal ecosystems, yet their foraging ecology is poorly understood. Historically, the ecology of diving ver- tebrates has been studied using high-resolution time-depth records; however, to date such data have not been available for leopard seals. Twenty-one time-depth recorders were deployed on seasonally resident adult females in January and February between 2008 and 2014. The average deployment length was 13.65 /C611.45 d and 40,308
