Fascinating Encounter with a Great White Shark off the Coast of South Africa (00014550)

Great White Shark in front of Dyer Island

Description: A great white shark crosses the water close to Geyser Rock and Dyer Island in front of the South African coast. African penguins, cormorants, many other sea birds and a large colony of South African fur seals live here. The surface hunter often finds his prey on the water surface. The super-robber great white shark with its size, strength, and fearsome jaws is a permanent danger to the South African fur seals around Dyer Island and Geyser Rock.

Location: Western Cape, Gansbaai/Dyer Island, South Africa

Date of Capture: 22.07.2003
