Eugy Dodoland Animals-Leopard Seal

This EUGY comes directly from the advice of our partners. This EUGY is a special homage to 'Owha', a resident leopard seal in New Zealand, that has helped greatly with helping us understand the species more.

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!
