Another near miss with a seal. Please do not feed these seals. It's only a matter of time before somebody is seriously injured or worse by one of these seals. I suspect these are so called sanctuary seals which have been hand reared and have no fear of man whatsoever. They may be a tourist attraction and are nice to look at a few times but they are an unwanted addition and should be discouraged to say the least.

looking at this i think this was a sealion when he went for the phone his head was on the side of the boat

SEAL OIL... A NATURAL SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

“In comparing seal oil with fish oils, assimilation of seal oil into the body is more efficient than fish oils.
Dr. Fereidoon Shahidi

The three Omegas are EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid), DPA (Docosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). Seal oil, now available in capsule form, is a prime source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Signs of Omega 3 fatty acid deficiencies are poor growth and poor eyesight in children, and skin problems in adults. Research also indicates that Omega 3 plays an important role in brain and vision development in infants. Research in Canada, Japan, and Denmark show that seal oil is easily absorbed in the body, and indications are that Omega 3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of heart disease by keeping arteries clear and lowering cholesterol.
