Moldy Peaches

According to the CBC, a fishing guide from Campbell River, British Columbia has a real whopper of a tale to share after a fully grown harbour seal hopped onto his seven metre boat – and wouldn't leave.

Dave Manson was taking several fishermen through Discovery Passage on Tuesday when they spotted a lone, transient orca bull coming towards them. Unlike resident orcas, transients feed on seals instead of salmon. Which is probably why a harbour seal suddenly surfaced next to Manson's boat.

"He just peeks his head up and then he just, all at once, launches himself into the back end of the boat," Manson explained.

"His eyes were just huge, like saucers, and he was hyper-ventilating. "He wanted out of the water and he was going to take his chances with us rather than with the whale."

Manson wasn't sure what to do. "We were sitting there and there's not much room in the boat." Whenever Manson or his guests got close to the seal, it would snarl and bare his teeth.
