A valuable photo of a seal on a shark was taken off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. The British media Daily Mirror reports .


According to the media, the photo was taken at the moment when a great white shark attacked from the sea in an attempt to prey on a seal. Normally, sharks catch seals with their sharp teeth and swallow them. However, at this time, the aim of the shark was slightly off, and the seal was pushed up to the sea with the tip of its nose. The seal is said to have slipped off the shark's nose and then swam away from the shark.


A man who witnessed this pattern said:

"The seal herd was out to sea to eat and was on its way back to land. The shark was swimming under the seal herd."

According to men, the backs of sharks are dark and difficult to see from seals. Great white sharks are said to time their attacks in the sea, accelerate to 40 km / h at a stretch, and attack their prey. To seals, sharks appear to appear suddenly without warning and are usually difficult to escape.

Regarding the seal that escaped, the man said:

"That seal was a very lucky child seal."
