The Harbour Seal and the giant Bass

There’s a Harbour Seal tucking into a giant bass in the River Dart.

It’s clearly dropped it and recovered it as two crabs have managed to attach themselves to the corpse and are feasting along with it.

The fish’s head is even bigger than the seal’s claws.

The seal started by stripping the skin off the fish, ripping it from head to tail. Then it ate the muscle. And finally, it attempted to swallow the head whole.
