Seals swimming in the ocean

 

Seals are cute and theres no getting around that, but its hard to match there cute appearance with there predatory side. These water dogs will employ a rather horrifying strategy in order to kill there prey, once a very unlucky individual is caught the seal will throw its catch consistently in order to tear its meal into bite sized chunks. I have witnessed this a few times on my great white shark adventures and now when I see the cute eyes of a seal I cant help but think of the predator who lurks behind them.

Growing up I always enjoyed watching the adventure films of yester-year. 7th Voyages Of Sinbad, Jason And The Argonorts and all of these classic B-movies are still some of my favourites. However, Studying these films for around five years dented my love a tiny bit and when thoughts five years land you a job in food retail, love is definitely not the word I would use to describe my studies. As time passed I kept seeing an online advert for an internship that took people shark cage diving for a month, the images of my own B-movie adventures where all to tempting. The adventures I had become a passion, and I’ve been photographing the wildlife of this planet now for two B-movie-esc years.
