High Velocity Attack of a Great White Shark

Marius van Straaten recalls this amazing shot showing a shark attacking a seal decoy. Great Whites hunt seals by coming from the deep at high speed and hitting the seal out of the water. The sharks speed is enough to lift the seal and itself often weighing over a 1000 kg straight out of the water. This video captures this action clearly in Table Bay, the biggest breeding ground of Great White sharks in the world. Footage by Marius van Straaten
