Seal eats shark!

Hi Sea Fans!

You have GOT to see this!  I was amazed when I first read about it because sharks are known for eating seals...not the other way around.  Chris Fallows, a well-known Great White Shark photographer saw it first hand.

This seal didn't only eat one, but FIVE blue sharks (bits of the sharks that were the tastiest) while Mr Fallows watched!  The sharks were all around 1.1 - 1.4m long, which could explain why they became supper.  Cape Fur Seals can grow up to 3 metres long and 315 kg.  I guess you always have to watch out when you're the smaller animal!!

Have a great week Sea Fans!
