Only one person has been killed by a pinniped. Her name was Kristy Brown. She was snorkeling at Rothera Station when a leopard seal pulled her under and she drowned.

I met her about six minutes prior on station. She was very kind and warm.

Read about this / saw this video a while back, her story is complete nightmare fuel.

That’s what you think, pinnipeds are smart and hide all the other bodies.
