Great White Shark attacking a Cape fur seal
Great White Shark, Seal Island, South Africa - 30 Jul 2017
The dense population of Cape fur seals July 30, 2017 at this time of year attracts the seal's main predator, the Great White Shark. Seal Island and the adjacent waters provide rare opportunities for those who wish to witness attacks by White Sharks on the Cape Fur Seal and to observe social interactions amongst creatures of both species. The island is well known for the interesting way the sharks grab their prey: a shark launching an attack will come up from underneath and hurl itself out of the water with the seal in its mouth. It has been shown that if the seals enter the "Ring of Death" (where the sharks circle the island) on the surface instead of at the murky bottom, they are more likely to be picked off by the faster and more aggressive Great White.
