A seal hitched a ride on a whale-watching boat off the coast of Vancouver Island to escape a pod of hungry orcas who were hunting him. Templeman was the guide at the helm of the boat and the one who captured the encounter on his GoPro camera. "He was on and off the swim grid [on the boat] two times during the encounter," said Templeman, but the whales didn't give up. In the end, the seal outsmarted the orcas, thanks to its hiding spot on Templeman's boat. "It was an amazing and intense encounter — the seal is the survivor," he said.
