Seal/Eider Impact
Last one I'll post from this series, you can see the force with which the seal hits the unfortunate eider.

This one is perhaps not as instantly recognisable as the others, with the seal being partially hidden.

But once you know what it's about you certainly can appreciate the force the eider is hit with.

Another great behavioural image. They would make a very interesting article in a mag.

Well caught. :toast:
