One of my favorite entries on TVTropes.
This video
has a National Geographic photographer work in the Antarctic where he finds this gigantic leopard seal. The seal moves up to the guy, does some threat displays (which freaks him the hell out, since this thing’s jaws are twice as big as a grizzly bear’s), but then she goes over and grabs a penguin then offers it to his camera (likely thinking it the face). The penguin swims away, so the seal tries again. After the scenario repeats itself several times with the seal becoming more and more disgusted with the camera’s ineptitude, something dawns on her and she becomes more and more panicked because she thinks that the creature she’s offering penguins to is hurt. So she offers him injured penguins, and dead penguins, and eats a penguin to show him how its done and offers a dismembered penguin to try and feed him… one hopes they made a modification to the camera so it could fake eating the penguin and soothe the leopard seal’s worries. Touching as that is, I, for one, never expected to see a paragraph involving killing, eating, and dismembering penguins to be listed as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- It is pretty touching, since the leopard seal kept trying to feed the camera for four days. Except for the poor penguins.
- Probably the first “Heartwarming Fridge Horror” ever posted on TV Tropes. Impressive
