Seals Unite to Defend Pod Against Great White Shark Invasion

In footage from the first episode of "Planet Earth III," a pod of seals is seen mobbing and driving away a great white shark that had infiltrated their seal colony off the coast of Africa. The mobbing technique is a common defense mechanism used by seals to protect themselves from predators. Despite the surprise attack, the Robberg Peninsula remains an important habitat for the vulnerable shark, which could be their last refuge in Africa. The series, narrated by David Attenborough, premiered on BBC America and AMC+.
