It was nursed back to health after the Exxon Valdez incident. Marching band, politicians, Sierra Club and PETA on hand to watch nature in action.

It was a sea otter and an orca. Orca tossed it into the air and swallowed it whole when it came back down.

That's right! Thanks for clarifying it for me. I wasn't sure about it being a seal, but I did remember the video of the whale throwing it up into the air before eating it.
A similar thing happened in Oregon several years ago; a pod of Orca chased a bunch of seals (or sea lions) into Newport Bay. The seals (40-50) kept trying to get out of the bay, but the Orcas wouldn't let them; then with no warning the pod drove the seals toward the wharf/dock area and attacked them. I don't like to see gratuitous slaughter, but it was funny watching the animal lovers freaking out while the whales ripped and shredded the seals apparently for fun. It happened in front of the bay windows of two popular restaurants. Very few if any survived; the bay was a mess until the tide changed.
