On a beach in Massachusetts, a shark killed and ate a seal in front of vacationers. VIDEO
Witnesses managed to film a large white shark that attacked and ate a seal just a few meters from the beach at Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
In the video, you can see how a shark scouts in the water, trying to kill a seal.
The frightened exclamations of beach lovers are heard when they saw what was happening.
An 10-second movie was released at a time when countless shark incidents were observed over the summer.

Only in August, beaches were closed dozens of times due to the appearance of sharks in the waters around the cape.
The video was captured by David Hagget on Naset Beach, whose wife, Megan, later sent him to the conservatory to share it on the Internet.

Huggett said the scene was "horrifying," especially after blood from the animal stained the water and an area of water turned bloody. “It felt like it happened right in front of us,” Megan said. “My husband said it could be 50 to 100 yards from us.”
It is heard that people standing nearby exclaim: “My God!” When a shark beats its tail in the water, eating a seal.

After the incident, the beach was temporarily closed. This happened already in the 12 time of the month.
Researchers reported that 19 sharks were spotted this summer, a record this season.
Officials with the Atlantic White Shark Sanctuary say the period between August and October is peak great white shark season off Cape Cod.
“We remind residents and visitors to the Cape that August to October is the peak period for white shark activity off our coast. Please observe all warnings and signs on beaches and follow the instructions of lifeguards,” the statement said.
Seal is an excellent food for a shark. Great white sharks also prey on other fish and sometimes sea turtles. One shark can eat about 11 tons of food per year. For comparison, a person usually eats about half a ton.
