    We upload a new incredible video every weekday. Subscribe to our CZcams channel so you don't miss out:
    A MAGNIFICENT great white shark leaps from the water to take a chunk out of a would-be seal.These amazing full breaches were conceived using a foam rubber seal decoy - which is dragged behind a shark cage diving boat, as a way of enticing the hungry predator. Shot by filmmakers Mark van Coller and Morne Hardenberg in Cape Town, between June and August of 2013 and 2014, the footage demonstrates the frightening power and agility of the iconic animal. But achieving such incredible shots is only possible if the conditions are right.
    Footage: Atlantic Edge Films
    Producer: Mark Hodge

    It’s crazy how much sheer power is in such an animal. You would think a fully grown sometimes 20+ feet in length, weighing in at over a ton in most cases, fish could never do things like this, and these beautiful species are forever evolving, becoming stronger and stronger with each new generation they spawn. These creatures are Apex predators for a reason, and if you cannot respect these guys. We cannot be friends.

      Also, isn't it bad for the sharks if they actually eat it? And what about the fact that fake seals will lay around in the ocean? Doesn't seem good from an environmental stand. Just my thoughts.
