Glaucus : Message: White Shark kills Grey Seal in North Sea?

Here we go again,

If this photo is genuine, it certainly looks like a large
predator/shark bite to me; but I would appreciate the views of those
with far more experience than me.

It is the Sun again but that does not mean we should dismiss it out of
hand. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article643371.ece.

Your views welcome, Doug
