Cannibalistic attacks between gray seals leave telltale “corkscrew” injuries | Hacker News

Researchers reported rare cannibalistic attacks among gray seals that leave distinctive corkscrew-shaped wounds.

Wildlife scientists, including Ursula Siebert at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, described the injuries as unusual but real.

Experts said the behavior is difficult to witness, but there is currently no recommendation for human intervention.
