- The fearsome predators uses the spectacular breaching technique to surprise and kill their prey
- Stunning pictures were captured by Irish photographer David Jenkins off Cape Town in South Africa
This is the incredible moment a ‘flying’ great white shark torpedoed vertically out of the sea and clamped its deadly jaws around a seal.
Dramatic images show the giant predator breaching off False Bay in Cape Town, South Africa during a hunting session.
Shark breaching is one of the techniques great whites use to surprise and kill their prey – in this case an unsuspecting cape fur seal.
Irish wildlife photographer David Jenkins, 46 has travelled the world to capture the awesome power of the creatures.
He said: ‘A flying great white shark is really one of the most incredible sights to behold, an amazing show of power, speed and agility. When I first saw a shark breach I was hooked and knew I had to try and see this for myself.’
