The song of the leopard seal

During the Antarctic summer, male leopard seals sing all day every day. Marine ecologist Tracey Rogers is the world’s authority on these giant top predators of the pack ice. With underwater acoustic equipment, Tracey studies their incessant submarine serenading. She explains why they sing so much, what the songs mean and how each seal has its own special song.
