The respective scene of the great white shark catching the fur seal by ambush from bellow and breaching out of water to kill the seal there not only had me flinching in fear in real life, but it was definately a testament and blast to watch and an astonishing, majestic yet outstanding scene at the same time of how much nature can be really harsh and tough for both predator and prey at the same time in the natural world in a race for survival as the survival of the fittest favors the strongest, fittest and luckiest survivors who are living another day.

Lo que hace tan intensa esta cacería es que tanto el depredador como la presa están perfectamente adaptados para el mismo momento. Al amanecer, la supervivencia se convierte en una carrera entre el hambre y el peligro.

Nature often looks peaceful at dawn, yet beneath the surface a hunt is already beginning. Would you dare cross these waters if you were a seal?

A great white is a great white, that's nature.

Did AI make this? At around 2:00 a shark bites a seal and nearly swallows it, the shot is super slow-motion. As it goes beneath the waves with only about one foot of the seal sticking out of it's closed jaws, there is not one drop of blood anywhere in the shot. Not near the seal, not near the shark and nowhere in the water????

If killer whales didn't exist, these guys would be one of the most dominant animals on the planet alongside humans. Pretty crazy when you think about it.
