Description

Following on from my previous observation (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/42458753), this was the split second before the Cape fur seal escaped the white shark's jaws... surprisingly without a scratch. Seen in the bay of Mossel Bay, a couple of hundred meters from Seal Island.
