Brought wife and 3yr old son down to the childrens cove to look at the seals that shouldnt be there. I knew he would enjoy it. Got there around 10am and started telling my wife how a yakker spotted a white shark recently and that these plump little turds are great shark bait. A few minutes later a seal comes flying out of the water and up the beach in a big hurry. As it flopped up the beach in pain it was evident why it had done so. There was an oval shaped bite mark about the size of a hula hoop around the seals mid section. The top portion of the bite was very deep and a good chunk was missing. The seal was bleeding pretty bad. A seagul immediately noticed the injury and began plucking away at the shredded wound tearing off chunk by chunk. The seal could not do too much about being plucked to death. Each time the seagul tore off a piece of flesh the seal would wince in pain and the bleeding would increase.

The seal got it in the mid section and it looks like the shark attacked it from underneath, shark week style.

Any how just wanted to share since I have only seen seal corpses on the beach and never a fresh soon to be dead victim. There was a crowd forming so we took off before finding out whether or not Sea World came by to put this seal out of its misery.

I did notice a few scuba divers surfacing just outside the childrens cove and many swimmers outside LJ cove as usual. Gotta think its just a matter of time before someone gets it.
