Fascinating Great White Shark Displays its Light Underside at Geyser Rock

Description: The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is one of the most fearsome creatures of the sea and a skilled predator. In the vicinity of Geyser Rock near Dyer Island, South Africa, lives a large colony of South African fur seals, one of the favorite prey of the Great White Shark. Every winter, large Great White Sharks gather in this region to hunt the seals. The seals are aware of the danger and try to protect themselves by staying close to the shore. However, when they venture out to sea for fishing, they must navigate a perilous passage where the Great White Sharks lie in wait.
