Seal Narrowly Avoids Killer Whale on the Hunt

A seal narrowly avoided an onrushing killer whale that was apparently intent on attacking it on July 26 off the coast of Levenwick, Shetland, in Scotland.


The killer whale’s fin could be seen before the predator went under water and made its way towards the seal.


The seal appeared oblivious at first, only to move just at the last moment to evade the lunging Orca. Credit: James Adamson
