Did you know that Leopard Seals are officially legal residents in New Zealand? Thanks to the research and advocacy of our partners at leopardseals.org, these typically antarctic creatures are protected in New Zealand.
This EUGY is based off a real-life leopard seal named 'Owha', who is often sighted in New Zealand and has helped us understand the species better. The 'V' scar on her left cheek and spotted patterns have been inspired by her!
10% of the net sales income of this model is donated to leopardseals.org to support the species.
