Massive Seal Escapes Death By Leaping Out Of The Water As A Great White Shark Tries To Snatch It Mid-Flight


Dr. Greg Skomal of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries captured this intense moment as a gigantic, fatty seal leaped eight feet out of the Cape Cod waters to avoid getting obliterated by a Great White Shark.

Judging by the seals leaping technique, it looks like this isn’t its first rodeo.

Judges?

The ocean freaks me the fuck out.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
