Great White Shark Predation on Northern Elephant seals

44 elephant seals with shark-inflicted injuries were observed. - Even the largest adult bulls, measuring between 1800 - 2700 kg were observed with shark bites. Interesting to note, is that adult male's had the highest injury rate, showing that white sharks attacked the huge bulls more often than the females and young:
