A Great White Shark hunting directly beneath the water surface (00010453)
Description: The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) crosses the water close to Geyser Rock and Dyer Island in front of the South African coast. African penguins, cormorants, and a large colony of South African fur seals live here. The surface hunter often finds his prey on the water surface. This super-robber is a constant danger to the seals due to its size and strength. Learn more about the behavior and habitat of the great white shark.
