Survival in nature and the circle of life is hard to see sometimes. We came across this scene where an eagle had just swooped down and killed a baby seal warming up on the rocks. The mother seal was frantically swimming back and forth in front of the eagle in hopes by some miracle the baby seal was still alive. You could feel her anguish and feelings of helplessness. Everyone has to eat to survive.
