These birds pirate their food from others. They will follow and harass birds such as gannets, shearwaters and albatross to force them to disgorge their food which the skua then eats.
Skuas are seabirds in the family Stercorariidae.
Skua find the Antarctic beaches -- where they breed -- to be a natural habitat for them.
The skua bird is sometimes called a scavenger.

If you are talking about the Antarctic skua, then I think it's the sea lion. If not then I don't know.
Antarctic skua breed on Antarctica's beaches and otherwise live elsewhere. Skua chicks, like all bird chicks, are subject to being preyed upon by any raptor interested in feeding its young.
You may be thinking of a skua, or a seal.

Skua predators include larger seabirds such as gulls and predatory mammals like foxes. However, skua populations are primarily threatened by human activities such as habitat destruction and climate change.
Seabirds in that geography include Skua, Albatross, Tern, Penguin and others.
A skua's food chain typically includes fish, squid, crustaceans, and even smaller birds or their eggs. Skuas are opportunistic feeders that scavenge for food and also hunt smaller prey in their habitat, such as the Arctic or coastal regions. They play a vital role in controlling populations of smaller marine species.
