Orcas chase seal onto B.C. anglers' boat

Some people sport fishing in a power boat in B.C.'s Georgia Strait near Nanaimo got quite a surprise this week when a seal jumped onto their vessel.

Some people out sport fishing in a power boat in B.C.'s Georgia Strait near Nanaimo got quite a surprise this week when a seal jumped onto their vessel.

The anglers knew why that happened when a pod of orcas suddenly appeared close to the boat.

Seals are a favourite food of some orcas, and it became obvious the terrified seal was trying to avoid the predators.

The boaters had cameras rolling and recorded the incident, as Keith Vass reports.
