COULD THIS BE THE WORLD'S LUCKIEST SEAL?...***EXCLUSIVE***.PATAGONIA: Mel, the Killer Whale or Orca narrowly misses out on a seal that it was hunting, in Patagonia..Photogrpaher and Conservationist Rob Lott travelled to Patagonia to study and photograph the foraging behaviour of 18 Orcas. Of the 18 only 7 have mastered the stranding behaviour whereby the Orca enter the shallow surf to feed on seal pups..During his study, Rob photographed 50-year-old male orca Mel, who had previously been studied by David Attenbourough in his "Trials of Life" documentary. Distinctive by his 2 metre dorsal fin, Mel is an expert hunter who feeds on seal pups before taking it back to his pod. This lucky seal however managed to escape the hutner's attentions..PHOTOGRAPH BY ROB LOTT / SPECIALIST STOCK / BARCROFT MEDIA LTD.UK Office, London..T +44 845 370 2233.W www.barcroftmedia.com.Australasian & Pacific Rim Office, Melbourne..E info@barcroftpacific.com.T +613 9510 3188 or +613 9510 0688.W www.barcroftpacific.com.Indian Office, D
