The Inertia

Nature isn’t always the nicest. It’s an unfortunate reality that in order for things to live, other things must die. Fur seals, for example, are the tastiest of morsels to a great white shark. Imagine how delicious a furry little blob of fat must be to a hungry shark? Despite the difference in size, however, fur seals off the coast of South Africa have figured out a way to fight back: strength in numbers. Sure, one solitary pup can’t fight off a massive great white, but when they all work together, the shark decides it’s just not worth it.
