Seals are getting kind of cocky

Seals enjoy death.

Dave Manson was taking several fishermen through Discovery Passage on Tuesday when they spotted a lone, transient orca bull coming towards them. Unlike resident orcas, transients feed on seals instead of salmon.

Which is probably why a harbour seal suddenly surfaced next to Manson's boat.

"He just peeks his head up and then he just, all at once, launches himself into the back end of the boat," Manson explained. "His eyes were just huge, like saucers, and he was hyper-ventilating.

"He wanted out of the water and he was going to take his chances with us rather than with the whale."

Manson wasn't sure what to do.

So he beat it to death with a club.

The end.
