A Cape Fur seal with injuries sustained from a Great White shark attackPicture by © DAN CALLISTER www.dancallister.com Words by Paul Henderson: hendopaul@gmail.com Near vertical as it exits above the waves at 35mph, the great white July 29, 2010 shows why it is known as one of the ultimate wildlife predators. Due to the increased number in the seal population at Seal Island, False Bay, South Africa. The island is an attraction for great white sharks. Every year between April and September, it is said that some 64,000 cape fur seals go to breed on the tiny island that measures just 800 metres long by 50 metres wide. The average great white in the waters around Seal Island measures between 8 and 16ft, with reports suggesting the biggest was a 19ft 6in giant that was spotted in 1997. Chris Fallows, 36, a Great White expert who was accompanied by Dan Callister, said: "A seal can be cut in half in an instant, which is actually a blessing in disguise, as it is one of the most humane deaths in the animal kingdom.
