White Shark Breaching —

QuickTime Movie

At left is a QuickTime movie showing a spectacular double breach by a White Shark in False Bay, South Africa.  The footage was shot by Rick Allen of Nautilus Productions. The first breach goes completely out-of-frame because — quite frankly — Rick didn't expect the White Shark to be able to leap so high. But, by the second leap, Rick's long-time filming experience kicked in and he 'nailed it'!

If you don't have QuickTime, you can download the viewer.
