I've gotta hand it to divers who shot this video--that's hardcore.  It’s been my (damned scary) experience that when the Landlord shows up, the seals head out at high speed.  Surfing glassy-calm seas in an almost totally enveloping fog off of Waddell Creek (just north of Santa Cruz, CA, and just east of Ano Nuevo Island), I noticed that the sea lions frolicking in our midst suddenly high-tailed it for the beach.  Granted, I didn’t see any sharks, but I figured it best to follow them in.

The slow and clumsy ones are eaten. pgt Fast, agile animals such as sealions and deer are fast and agile *because* of predators such as Great White Sharks and wolves.

All I can see watching that is a 20 foot GREAT WHITE SHARK lurking just below them in the depths ready to rise up at any moment for a "snack". I just don’t know how people can do things like that.
