Great White Shark Mobbed by Gang Of Seal

Here’s a captivating description of the astonishing encounter between a great white shark and a gang of seals off the southern coast of Africa:

In the first episode of the new documentary series “Planet Earth III”, narrated by the legendary naturalist David Attenborough, we witness a spectacular battle unfold. The scene features a huge band of seals swarming and fiercely driving off the world’s most notorious predator: the great white shark12.

South African fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus) are the stars of this dramatic showdown. These seals feast on massive shoals of fish that gather in nutrient-rich coastal waters. In the three-minute-long clip, we see a herd of seals clambering down jagged cliffs, diving below the waves in search of food. However, these waters have also become a hunting ground for up to a dozen seal-hunting great white sharks1.
