Drone captures ‘special’ footage of seal using mussel farm to hide from orcas

A seal being hunted by a group of whales attempted to seek sanctuary by hiding in a mussel farm.
A drone camera captured “extra special” and “insightful” footage of the harbour seal, which was being hunted by a pod of eight orcas.
In an attempt to escape them, the seal sought to conceal itself between two lines of mussel ropes at the Grunna Voe mussel farm, which is to the north of Lerwick, Shetland.
When it left its hiding place and headed for open water, it was caught and killed by the whales.
Emily Hague, a PhD student researching the impact man-made structures can have on marine wildlife, said it was “fascinating” to see them “potentially being used by prey to hide from predators”.
