Over the past week, we've noticed three dead seals in Port George,
Annapolis County, NS.

All three have been washed up on the high-tide line, within ~200m from the
"Seal Rock" at Cottage Cove Provincial Picnic Park. All three have had
lesions on their skin with regularly spaced perforations. I'm tempted to
think they're from a shark attack due to the shape of the wound, but they
seem far too shallow than what I would have expected.

If anyone has any experience with this, can you please let me know what you
think.

Disclaimer: Photos below are about what you'd expect from the description
above of the two seals spotted this afternoon... *GRAPHIC*
