A Seal Hid On A Whale-Watching Boat To Escape Hungry Orcas

    Clever.

    A seal being hunted by orcas sought refuge on a whale-watching boat off the coast of British Columbia.

    Campbell River Whale & Bear Excursions uploaded this video to its Facebook page, showing the terrified seal hiding on the boat as several orcas circled the waters nearby.

    Nick Templeman, who runs the company, told CBC News the seal was "tossed around a few times and taken under quite a bit" by the whales before it tried to find shelter among humans.

    "He got close enough to see us and beelined for the boat," Templeman said.

    Templeman dipped his camera into the water and saw the orcas getting very close.

    Templeman said the whales were persistent and kept searching, but they were ultimately outsmarted by their prey. "It was an amazing and intense encounter — the seal is the survivor," he said.
