Seal narrowly escapes killer whales in Kamchatka, Russia

In a remarkable wildlife encounter on September 6, 2023, in Kamchatka, Russia, captured by @Maxim Gaevoy, a seal found itself in a life-or-death situation as it attempted to evade a group of killer whales in Avacha Bay. The chase unfolded as several killer whales relentlessly pursued the seal, cornering it against the starboard side of the yacht. Quick-thinking crew members intervened, encouraging the distressed seal to climb onto the yacht's swimming platform for refuge. Once the seal was safe, the vessel wasted no time and accelerated away from the pursuing whales, ensuring the seal's survival.
