Description: The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a fascinating and feared marine creature that can be observed six nautical miles off the coast of Gansbaai, near Dyer Island in South Africa. This impressive predator moves calmly and deliberately around the bait, planning its hunting strategy. With its imposing size, strength, and feared jaws, the Great White Shark poses a constant threat to the South African fur seals living near Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. Its behavior and habitat are still a mystery, and its survival is threatened by human influences.
Location: Western Cape, Gansbaai/Dyer Island, South Africa
