New Zealand leopard seals are generalist top predators. However, little is known about the diet and foraging ecology for many populations, especially in New Zealand.  Although they are usually found around Antarctic waters, they can be found farther north along the land masses and islands that surround those waters. Recently a nonprofit organization, leopardseals.org, has found through photo-ID that individuals are returning to the NZ coastline. They also collect scat, or poop, to identify what they are eating. This unique research combines citizen science, dedicated research, photo-ID, along morphological and DNA analyses to identify prey of the NZ leopard seals. Come learn about how citizens are helping collect vital data, and what these leopard seals are eating - something that hasn't been documented in this species before!
