A rare observation of a grey seal spitting water at a white-tailed eagle has added a new dimension to the science of spitting behavior in animals. The incident, captured by a bird-watcher on the Isle of Wight, suggests that seals may use spitting as a means of deterring potential competitors, although researchers can only speculate about the exact motivation behind the behavior.

National Geographic captured footage of humpback whales disrupting orcas that were hunting a seal in Antarctica. While humpbacks have been observed disrupting orca hunts in the past, the exact reason for their behavior remains unclear. One theory suggests that the seal may have been seeking refuge behind the humpbacks. Biologists believe that the humpbacks may engage in anti-predator mobbing behavior to protect themselves and other humpbacks, even if a calf is not immediately under threat. It is also possible that the seal itself sought out the humpbacks as a large object to hide behind.
