I guess it was a normal predator, but a normal leopard seal wouldn't take down an orca and drag it far onto the ice sheets. The real questions are:

1. How and why is the orca on an ice sheet this far away from open water? Orcas avoid all ice aside from ice bergs that seals rest on.

2. Orcas, leopard seals and almost all other life in Antarctica would leave for winter, aside for Weddell seals, which stay year round, and nesting emperor penguins.

3. Yes, leopard seals are better at eating penguins and young seals. Orcas are the only thing leopard seals actively avoid.
