First off, it must be said that the seal pup pictured above is one very lucky creature. Not to mention it must have nerves of steel.

I don't know about you, but, if I were the seal, I would've probably fainted and fallen in the water. Huffington Post tells us that this amazing picture was taken by David Baz Jenkins of Dublin, Ireland in the waters off Cape Town, South Africa.

Apparently, the seal was attacked just as it was swimming back home to its friends and family on Seal Island after it had dined on fish and other marine creatures in the deep ocean.

The photographer explains that, by balancing on the great white's nose, the seal pup managed to avoid getting eaten by it.

Needless to say, the shark does not look very happy about having its meal so close, and yet so far.
