Mesmerising moment a playful seal chases a school of salmon beneath a crowd of oblivious surfers at Bondi beach
A seal has been captured swimming among a huge school of salmon with swimmers and surfers on one of Australia's most popular beaches.
The incredible footage was posted on the Drone Shark App Tik Tok page this week showing a seal frolicking in the water at Sydney's Bondi Beach in 2018.
The video shows an enormous school of salmon swimming outside a group of surfers waiting for waves in gorgeous blue water on a perfect summers day when the seal arrives.
Footage of a seal swimming among surfers and a school of salmon has gone viral
It swims along the outside of the fish, forcing the school to thin out and scatter beneath the waiting surfers as the seal glides passed.
The surfers seem oblivious to the seal as it glides through the water, before swimming directly underneath an unsuspecting swimmer.
'Run salmon run,' the post is captioned.
Comments on the post were left in awe of the rapidly changing shape of the school of salmon in the face of a predator.
