[Raw Video] Seal Escapes Death by Leaping Onto Boat

A seal avoided certain doom when it leapt onboard a whale watching boat to evade a group of preying orcas. The event unfolded just off the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada and was caught on video by one of the whale watchers.

Driver and guide, Nick Templeman, told CBC News that the “seal was tossed around a few times and taken under quite a bit before seeking refuge… He got close enough to see us and beelined for the boat.”
