The harbour seal sought refuge at a mussel farm off the island of Shetland, in rare footage revealing marine life interacting with man-made structures.
Heart-stopping footage shows a harbour seal trying to evade a pod of hungry killer whales by seeking refuge in a mussel farm off Shetland.Local drone pilot Nick McCaffrey captured 38 minutes of the dramatic chase, which saw the seal hide between two lines of mussel ropes at Grunna Voe farm.
It can be seen gliding in between the ropes as the killer whales edge closer, in what has been described as previously undocumented behaviour.Advertisement The footage was analysed by Emily Hague, a PhD student at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, who is researching the impact of human activities on marine animals - including manmade structures such as fish farms and offshore energy developments.More on Animals
