Here's why:
* Different Hunting Styles: Seals are primarily coastal predators, hunting fish, squid, and sometimes penguins near the shore. Whales, on the other hand, are adapted for hunting in open waters and have a diverse range of feeding methods, including filter-feeding, lunge feeding, and active pursuit of fish and krill.
* Social Structure: While some whale species are social, like dolphins, seals are typically solitary or live in small groups. They don't form the cooperative hunting packs that some whales do.
* Dietary Needs: Seals and whales have different dietary needs. Seals are carnivores, while some whales are filter feeders (like baleen whales) and others are carnivores.
While there might be occasional instances of a seal and a whale sharing a hunting ground, they generally do not engage in collaborative hunting strategies.
