Desperate Seal Jumps Into Boat To Avoid Pod of Killer Whales
A seal jumped onto a boat in Vancouver, Canada, after a team of famished killer orca whales marched to chase him.
“It was an incredible and intense encounter – the seal is the survivor”, he said.
“All of a sudden it popped up a little bit closer and just stared at the boat. the next thing you know, it was scrambling to get on the back of the boat”, Fraser told Global News.
Nick Templeman, who runs Campbell River Whale and Bear Excursions, captured the moments after the seal took refuge on the boat.
To the panicked seal, Kirk Fraser’s boat might as well have been a well-placed rock.
The badgering behemoths eventually left, allowing the seal to safely swim off.
When one person jokes about shoving the seal off the boat to the whales, another interjects, “That guy deserves to live!”
The mammal jumped onto the back of a tour boat to escape the swarming pod of orcas (WARNING: Original video contains profanity). That’s when it made its desperate escape onto the deck of the vessel. Templeman and his group were watching the orca whales for 30 minutes when the whales’ serene mood shifted upon sighting the lone seal.
In the end, the seal outsmarted the orcas, thanks to its hiding spot on Templeman’s boat.
“Most intense epic experience ever”, Fraser wrote.
