Great White Shark lunges at decoy seal, Mossel Bay, South Africa
Seal Island, Mossel Bay, South Africa (July 2019)
This image was taken during the Great White Shark trip organised by Natures Images and led by Mark Sisson. The shark was tempted to attack a decoy seal towed from behind a boat during an early morning trip run by Apex Shark Expeditions of False Bay and led by Chris Fallows. Breaching is a comparatively rare occurrence; only two full breaches were seen during three boat trips though several surface lunges on the decoy were observed. These often occur without warning.
Status is classified as Vulnerable. Also known as White Shark. For more information on this species of shark see the following links:
