Water turns red as great white shark attacks seal near popular beach

A great white shark turned the ocean red as it violently attacked a seal near a beach, a video has shown.

An onlooker on a boat captured the attack turning the Cape Cod coast turning blood red as the predatory violence broke out.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC), a shark conservation nonprofit shared the moment the shark’s dorsal fin briefly appears above the surface of the water before thrashing ensued.

As the near-coastal battle persists, the splashing water appears to turn blood red.

After sailing nearer to the scene, the battle ceases and both animals disappear from sight.
