Harbor Seals Hunting for Coho Salmon | Bob Armstrong's Nature Alaska

These coho salmon are returning to the DIPAC hatchery in Juneau.
Some harbor seals are taking advantage of them and even swim up the fish ladder in search of coho.
Notice how some seals swim on their back.
Why do you think they do this?
Think about their ability to see better underwater.
Some salmon, desparate to get away from the seals, will even jump on the shore.
