摘要：
Leopard seals Hydrurga leptonyx breed in the Antarctic pack ice, but individuals may wander farther north. Only two records exist from Gough Island (40°S, 10°W) situated 360 km to the SW of Tristan da Cunha Island, in the central South Atlantic Ocean. We report the first record from Tristan da Cunha (37°S, 12°W) in September 2016. The juvenile male was lean, in poor condition, and had minor injuries. Its hindquarters were covered in stalked barnacles, which suggest that it had spent a long period at sea.
