It's no secret that Nantucket's seal population has exploded and inevitably attracted a growing number of shark species, including great whites. But it's not every day that someone witnesses a white shark attacking a seal just feet from shore and records a video of the predation.

But that's just what happened on Sunday near Great Point when Carrie Drayton and Tyler O’Brien were driving out to the point to do some fishing and caught a glimpse of something moving in the waves near the wash over.

The video above was recorded by O'Brien.

Here is the approximate location of where the predation occurred at the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge, owned by the Trustees of Reservations:
