Thousands of washed up seals create 'buffet of blubber'

Thousands of seals have bunkered down on a US beach, creating a column of blubber stretching as far as the eye can see.

Aaron Knight filmed the unusual landscape of mammals on Monomoy Island, near Boston, on Sunday.

"It's an infinite forever stretch of seals," he told The Boston Globe.

Knight says he has flown over the island often in the 10 years he has been a pilot, but the amount of blubber washing up has reached "scary" proportions.

"It's a continuous blubber buffet for the great whites," he said.

The video has been viewed more than 200,000 times since being uploaded on Sunday.
