Beautiful photo: The hunting spirit of ocean assassins

A white shark tries to catch a seal in the sea near the island of Hai Cang and False Bay in South Africa. The seal escapes deadly.

During the period from November to December every year, about 12,000 baby seals are born around Hai Cang Island. This is an ideal hunting opportunity for sharks

At peak periods, the number of predatory sharks in this area can reach 30-50.

The probability of successful feeding of sharks is about 50%.

Many seals can escape the shark's mouth a few times, but they are eventually captured.

About 65,000 seals live in the waters near Cape Town. They move in groups, so catching each individual becomes difficult for sharks.

The probability of successful capture of sharks increases if the sea is cloudy or cloudy, because the sight of the seals decreases so they cannot see the remote sharks.

Young seals avoid very clever sharks even though they have no experience dealing with predators.

The white shark rushed up and returned to the water surface in less than a second - a tremendous speed.

Biologists agree that sharks are an important group of animals that play a role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
