Seals seem pretty harmless creatures, but it's a false impression. Photographers managed to capture one mammal meal consisting of five blue sharks.
Group of divers to dive at the South African coast, had a chance to witness the unusual incident demonstrates how mining has become a hunter.

Among the divers was Fellovs photographer Chris, who was able to do some amazing shots.

"We are a group of men plunged into the ocean, and near us immediately turned some blue sharks length of 1, 1-1, 4 meters. The fish were small and did not represent any danger, so we continued our diving trip. Suddenly he emerged from the Cape fur seal, and the next moment there was something we did not expect: the animal came down on one of the sharks and vgryzlis in its gills.

However, the murder of the little predator fur seal was not limited to - he gutted his victim in search of the stomach and liver, which are immediately eaten. One mammal shark was not enough, and the animal attacked another four sharks, having used them for food the same way.

"Since we had enough experience, so we decided to sail away from the hungry fur seal. Besides the blood of slain mining could attract larger sharks, "- said the prudent photographer.

It is worth noting that the aggressive animal belongs to the family of eared seals, eating clams, squid and small fish, but not predatory inhabitants of the ocean.

"I got the impression that the seal was sick and he needs to choose only the bodies of sharks. It is known that the liver of these fish is quite useful for the seal and it serves as a good source of energy. Weight mammals reaches 300 kg, which allows them not to be afraid of small predators. It's just a matter of size - if you are less than I do, you will be eaten. Yes, we have not seen this before, but it does not mean that in the diet of fur seals are no sharks "- says Fellovs looking at pictures
 - Mdaa too, quite frankly, an unusual diet of marine handsome innocent mind. What - what is wrong in the nature of change.
And the next time the sharks will not close, but it is full of bathers - where is the guarantee ...
Personally, I do not fear - through procuration, liver identity ... - spit!
Look at his domestic tomcat - no glance whether they are leering at you that way ...
