Seals, sea lions, sharks, and killer whales are the penguin's predators. The leopard seal is especially fond of eating penguins. Although these animals are enemies of the penguin at sea, they usually don’t bother it on land. Birds, such as the giant petrel, brown skua, gull, and sheathbill, eat penguin eggs and attack penguin chicks, but they don’t hurt adult penguins.
People can be enemies of the penguin too. If fishing boats catch too many fish in the waters where the penguins live, there is not enough fish for the penguins to eat. Oil spills are also a danger to penguins. The oil coats the penguins’ feathers and makes them lose their waterproofing. Laws to help protect the penguins from harm by humans have been passed in recent years.

leopard seals. And polar bears are not one of their predators because polarbears live in the north pole and penguins live in the south pole and Antarctica.

Leopard seals and killer whales, pretty much large carnivorous water mammals.
