Orcas harassed a grey seal.

Home / whale diaries / Orcas harassed a grey seal.

On our tour today we did not have to search for the orcas for too long as we spotted them just at the mouth of the fjord. Today was very special, because we had the opportunity to witness how a group of 4 orcas harassed a grey seal. They were circling the seal, and when the seal came close to our boat for shelter, the orcas would dive underneath and then also circle our boat. The seal already had wounds on several parts of the body, and even though it was left alone by the orcas later on, it most likely will not survive. After this incredible encounter, we ventured further out of the fjord, where we also spotted a small group of white-beaked dolphins that accompanied our boat for a while. A very exciting two-species day!
