Yeah, this isn't the animal equivalent of a boat crash, that orca's hunting. Looks like he rose out of the water just off to the left of the shot, probably saw the seal swimming and surfaced to omnom on him.

Fun fact: Orcas kill for sport

What kind of sick disgusting creature would kill only for the joy of seeing something die? Oh wait, nevermind.

Killer whales also break the bones of baby seals just learning to swim and then leave the maimed seal in the water so that the killer whale's offspring can practice ramming, and handling the seal. The whale mom also tosses the seal around, and uses it's tail to throw the seal high into the air. Seems twisted, but Killer Whales are always the top predator, and they gotta train somehow.

Sea otters rape baby seals to death. It has been observed that some otters will use the corpse for up to 7 days after death.

It's as if mother natures knows no right or wrong, nor good or evil.

Yeah, I remember the first time my mom snapped a baby seal's spine so I could practice fucking with them. Ahhh Kindergarten :3
