Scientists have revealed what is likely to be the first-ever footage of a single wolf hunting and killing a seal.
, scientists observing wolves in Katmai National Park in Alaska, discovered that the animals have developed a taste for a new kind of prey: marine mammals.the team of researchers filmed a single male wolf hunting a harbor seal — eventually dragging the prey onto a sandbar and eating the tail.
The wolf continued to tear into the flesh of the seal’s tail and after an approximate 30-minute struggle, the seal appeared to tire, straining to lift its head above water. The wolf then dragged the seal onto the exposed sandbar and began to tear into the existing wound and consume the tail.Wolves have previously been observed consuming sea otter carcasses, but how they obtain these and the frequency of scavenging versus hunting marine prey is largely unknown.
