Seal

 Gray seals usually feed on herring and cod
 Squids and eels also get the nod
 But things have taken a disturbing spin
 Now they're chowing down on dolphins!

 This has scientists quite concerned
 As humans could be next on the menu 
Sometimes nature takes an unexpected turn
 As animals find new prey to chew

Watch out for sharks at sea
 For you may become its next meal
 If you see a dorsal fin, you will flee
 But don't end up in the jaws of the gray seal

Survival of the fittest. We have jelly fish that can kill in Malta. I am too old to swim now.

I no longer swim in the sea. As long as sea creatures don’t come ashore to feast on me, they can rule their realm.
