Seal spits on eagle to scare him away – “calls into question defense mechanisms in animals”. Other footage shows an aggressive sea eagle attacking a great white shark in just two minutes.
It is the first record of an interaction between gray seals and sea eagles. Previously, only humans, llamas and alpacas had been observed spitting at snakes. It had never been reported before that a seal would spit at an enemy from the air as a defense or deterrent.
