Seal escapes orcas by jumping onto photographer’s boat in dramatic video

From Global News.

A clever harbour seal managed to flee and escape a pod of orcas on the hunt, seeking refuge on a small boat where photographers were watching the whales off an island in Washington state earlier this month.

Charvet Drucker was out on the whale watching trip when she spotted the pod of at least eight killer whales swimming and slapping their tails.

After she snapped photos of what she thought were the seal’s final moments, she saw the animal making a beeline for her boat.

Drucker didn’t get close to the seal or interfere with the mammal but she did begin to film video of the interaction.

“You poor thing,” Drucker can be heard saying, as the seal looks up at her. “You’re good, just stay, buddy.”
