We had the chance to witness a group of 4 Orca attack an elephant seal in Monterey Bay. In the middle of it, a Humpback Whale appeared out of nowhere, playing with the boats, sometimes chasing the orcas!? and getting between them and the elephant seal. The photographs are not the highest quality (no excuses) but I wanted to share this incredible moment with everybody.
