A great white shark breaches near Seal Island

Description: It is afternoon. In a short distance there is Seal Island with a South African Fur Seal colony. Levelled my camera at Koekie, the artificial neoprene seal decoy, and the boat is moving along. For hours. Suddenly, a huge and very heavy body is rocketing out of the water like a torpedo. It has “Koekie” in its mouth. Everything happens in a split second. We just watched the attack of a Great White Shark, carried out with the utmost precision.
