Seals typically do not hunt penguins on land; they primarily hunt in the water where they are more agile and can utilize their swimming skills. However, some seal species, like leopard seals, may opportunistically prey on penguins when they are on ice floes or in shallow waters. This behavior is driven by the availability of food and the seals' need for energy, especially during breeding seasons when penguins are more accessible. Overall, seals are more adapted to hunting in aquatic environments rather than on land.
