Seals now eating dolphins around the UK, swimmers next?

[WhatInThe]

Seals apparently eating dolphin turning them into prey around the UK off the coast of Wales. Swimmers next?

Fish food supply has been pushed farther out to sea so once dolphins in shallower water they become more vulnerable.

Killer seals chowing down on dolphins — could human swimmers be next?

Seals also already known to eat their young on occasion. Not exactly a warm or cute water park act.

I wouldn't be surprised.

When I was there, and buying print newspapers, the Post's motto was "All the news that's fit to print." But like others, it seems it's become nothing more than another tabloid.

That would be most unusual. There are seals in Antarctic waters, in particular leopard seals, that consume warm blooded prey like penquins and sea birds. Leopard seals have been known to attack dolphins but they are not found in the northern hemisphere.
