Evidence of a Predatory Interaction of a Cookiecutter Shark (Isistius brasiliensis) on Galapagos Fur Seals (Arctocephalus galapagoensis).

The article discusses a study on evidence of a predatory interaction between a cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) and Galapagos fur seals (Arctocephalus galapagoensis) conducted by Andrés Moreira-Mendieta et al., published in the journal Aquatic Mammals. It highlights the occurrence of a fresh circular wound on a fur seal caused by a cookiecutter shark, emphasizing the potential impact of such sublethal predation events on the fitness of the prey species.
