  • Narrator: WITH SUCH POOR VISIBILITY IN THE BAY TODAY,

  • THE TEAM IS BACK IN THE AIR.

  • ♪♪

  • IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SPOT SHARKS UNTIL THE WATER CLEARS.

  • ♪♪

  • JUST GONNA FRAME UP AND GET A LITTLE BIT

  • MORE DETAIL HERE.

  • THEY'VE GONE FROM CRUISING OFFSHORE

  • TO SUDDENLY HUGGING THOSE ROCKS,

  • PATROLLING THOSE ROCKS,

  • INVESTIGATING EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY

  • OF THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY KNOW SO WELL HERE.

  • Narrator: NOW, THE TIDE IS RISING,

  • ALLOWING THE SHARKS TO CRUISE EVEN CLOSER TO THE ROCKS.

  • THE SEALS' HIDING PLACES ARE NO LONGER SAFE.

  • TODAY, IT'S ADVANTAGE SHARK.

  • OKAY, THERE -- YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER ONE JUST THERE.

  • I'LL BRIGHTEN UP THE SCREEN A BIT.

  • ♪♪

  • Towner: YEAH, HE'S PRETTY SHALLOW. LOOKS LIKE HE'S TURNING.

  • YEAH, HE'S DOING A BIT OF A U-TURN THERE.

  • SEE IF I CAN FIND SOME SEALS,

  • IF THEY'RE IN THE SHALLOWS HERE, TOO.

  • THERE'S A SEAL ON ITS OWN.

  • RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. [ GASPS ]

  • YES, YES, YES!

  • OH, MY GOODNESS!

  • HE'S GOT IT.

  • Narrator: FOR THE CAPE FUR SEAL,

  • THERE'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

  • SHAME. THAT SEAL DID

  • ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WRONG.

  • ♪♪

  • Towner: SO, THE SHARK AND THE SEAL

  • BASICALLY SWAM INTO EACH OTHER'S PATH, FACE TO FACE.

  • AND, AS THE SHARK SAW THE SEAL...

  • ♪♪

  • ...IT WAS THE FASTEST RECOGNITION OF PREY

  • THAT I'VE EVER SEEN.

  • LITERALLY A SPLIT SECOND, AND HE WAS ON THAT SEAL.

  • IT DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE.

  • THE SEAL WAS ACTUALLY COMING UP TO TAKE A BREATH,

  • UNAWARES TO THE FACT THAT A WHITE SHARK WAS ON TO IT.

  • ♪♪

  • INCREDIBLE TO SEE, BUT, OBVIOUSLY,

  • IN NATURE, WHENEVER YOU SEE AN ANIMAL KILLED,

  • YOU CAN'T HELP BUT HAVE SYMPATHY ON THE ANIMAL'S PART.

  • ♪♪

  • THEY HAVE SO MUCH POWER IN THEIR JAWS,

  • SO IT WAS A THRASHING, SHAKING,

  • WHILE THE SEAL PROBABLY DIDN'T FEEL A THING.

  • IT WAS OVER VERY QUICKLY FOR IT.

  • ♪♪
