Poignant Moment: Neoprene Seal Decoy Destroyed by Great White Shark (00000342)
(4)
Description: It's late afternoon, eight kilometers off the coast of Gansbaai, near Dyer Island in South Africa. A small boat is towing a neoprene seal decoy, with a seal colony nearby at Gyser Rock. Suddenly, a massive, ton-heavy body emerges from the water and grabs the decoy. The Great White Shark crushes it in its mouth, demonstrating precision and power. Every inch of this magnificent creature exudes energy, while the decoy bears clear bite marks and a shark tooth stuck in it. An unforgettable sight and a display of perfect timing.
Location: Western Cape, Gansbaai/Dyer Island, South Africa
