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.

This is beautiful. Seeing the entire shark out of water makes really puts them into perspective of how big they really are
people don't realize how amazing sharks are
Yeah Bc Of ppl Sharks are almost extinct and Extinct Danger ppl hunt them for the fins and throws them in the water leaving them die
@@Roachwastaken instead of putting a negative on there just admire how powerful these beasts are
@@leighdicken7648 They are bootiful xD beast what you meant
If you think a lumbering ugly sack of cartilage and meat flopping itself out of water is beautiful then I respect you beliefs
At first I felt bad for the seal, but upon finding out it was fake, I felt bad for the shark.
One big tease.
Actual shark's thoughts
"GOD DAMN SCIENTISTS!"
Alexis Kraus e
keep fooling the shark maybe one time it might jump after you
Alexis Kraus ...
few things in this world scare me. this is one of them.
Ryan Lucio I kept imagining that seal as a person. Talk about a scary reality check ..yikes!
I never thought of a shark pushing a human into the air.
Honestly tho👀😱🥺
Sharks are not to be feared... you should fear the Oceans not having sharks! sharks are extremely important for the Oceans eco-system and survival of many marine life species that live in the Oceans. fear the animals that hunt them... HUMANS! #SaveTheSharks #WorthMoreAlive
Insert David Brent ooh you're hard gif here
I just realized how badass sharks are
This footage properly shows how freaking big they are. So cool!
***** The seal decoy is about 2 ft long, so make a proportion and see how big the shark is.
Gio Penguin 3.5 ft buddy.
Rodney Brown oh really?
Imagine being on ships in the sea way back in the day and seeing this happening and going back to tell people about it and nobody believes you
Nah, they have sea shanties about it.
Lewis and clark coming back from the west coast to tell the easterners stories of their expedition had a much harder time getting the public to believe their factual experiences. Haha
@Googly Moogly okay commie
Seriously could you imagine swimming back then without knowing what a great white shark was or ever hearing about them or seeing them and then one day you are swimming and one of those at around 18 feet with those black eyes and massive jaw attacks you.
I hate that slow motion shit, I wanna see. The power and speed
Fla561 g
Go to Cape Town and dive on in for yourself :}
Try x2 speed on some of the clips
I cannot even begin to describe how scary yet beautiful that is. If I'm going to die on film, that's probably one of the most epic ways to go out.
I wanna be a shark when I grow up
pyscho butler I wanna be shark too
I wanna be a Pepsi bottle when I grow up
ah dat ain't happenin.
Im re-encarnating as a shark
It’s been five years have you turned into a shark yet
No dummy seals were harmed while shooting this videos. Impressive and spectacular footage! 👍👌👏
This video exists*
Shark with Jetpack: *Allow me to introduce myself*
Amazing how agile such a large fish is.
The Music makes this Godly
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.
Why do you have a fear of the ocean? It’s so beautiful
The ocean:
I had some fabulous white breeches when I was younger.
Though this is one of my favorite sharks, this is the most intimidating, scariest thing I have ever known about them.
@Chris - AND keep in mind. THESE waters (False Bay) are THE ONLY waters where this BREACHING behaviour is noticed worldwide!
Ditto
Mark is going to regret this escapade when the sharks figure out who's been messing with them.
Watching water spill out of the shark's maw at 0:33 is pretty great
ju5tinpyne sharks do that when they realized what they’re trying to bite isn’t food
they're so beautiful to watch
After Shark attack the cameraman should yell " I'ts a prank bro " :D
Imagine shark reaction ^^
L0gopeda How many decoy seals have to be replaced on an active day? All sorts of things wind up in sharks' bellies. Imagine someone that knows nothing of this study opening up a great white to find a dozen decoy seals in a malnourished shark.
David Sandbergen that's bc the seal decoy is bein towed behind the boat
YOU IDIOT THE SHARK WOULDN'T CARE IT WOULD STILL ATTACK THE FAKE SEAL THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WATCH LOGAN PAUL
L0gopeda ,
great footage thanks for the upload
Amazing just how quick they really are.
0:01 This is what the shark in my nightmares looks like. No other shark I've seen compares.
She looks like the one from Deep Blue Sea
What an Awe inspiring creature
ESPETACULAR ! PARABÉNS, EXCELENTE TRABALHO, SEM PALAVRAS !
WHOA!!!! Ever big! Fantastic pictures.
I have now seen a great white jump out of the water. Thanks Spencer
Amazing , all that speed and strength to breach water , these sharks weigh over a thousand pounds.
2 tons on average! amazing!
godstomper sm
Incredible! Beautiful powerful creatures😍
The first thing I can think of to compare these creatures to is a firework: the flash and colours represent the awe of seeing one; and then the bang is the awesome power that, whereas it looks spontaneous, is actually seemingly orchestrated and performed
Shrooms my guy
wow that was beautiful and scary at the same time
I can’t even jump as high as these sharks 😂
Absolutely magnificent videography guys.
At least he kept the commentary to a minimum, much appreciated. Also, amazing footage!!!!!
Awesome footage
Great footage
FANTASTIC!
magnificent!
Beautiful❤
Rick-rolling sharks should be a crime.
Omg this monster so beautiful
Wow so awesome. They must get up to some speeds. Kayakers are so nuts.
the most beautiful underapreciated animal on earth, its sad that people view them as killing machines
They are killing machines. But orca whales eat sharks so..
+Avail Stevenn I dual with ermac! Because power is the greatest concept in the world. EVERY SINGLE PERSON have at least once desired power. And kill = power. Sharks = power.
you don't see them as killing machines...
So go swim w them in South Africa
They are killing machines!
Go swim off South Africa's Coast!
See what happens! lol
they are so beautiful!!!!
An awesome video and fabulous photos Sharks are incredible sea animals. South Africa is the best place to see sharks and go shark diving too. In a cage of course.
That was an amazing video
I really do hope to get the chance to see these majestic creatures before they go extinct!
That's a big fish... Nice video
Dope as vid
Grandios !
Beautiful animals
these are the most great white looking sharks i have ever seen
Those sharks must have been pissed when they found out the seal decoys were not real
He's not just a professional photographer, but also a professional troll lol. Trolled danm sharks with dummy seals. XD
Real-life sharknado!
The stuff of nightmares.
JAWESOME!
What an incredible creature
Pure muscle 👌 amazing creatures
Look at the air the the shark gets..jeez theyre powerful athletic creatures
The energy that shark uses to catch the seal might mean the difference between life or death.
Beautiful.. truly beautiful! sharks are extremely important for the Oceans eco-system and survival of many marine life species that live in the Oceans. fear the animals that hunt them... HUMANS! #SaveTheSharks #WorthMoreAlive
beast!
I think the shark was showing off lol. First it came out like; 'hey, check me scaring this small ass fish. Take a selfie with this!!!
i love sharks
Well, that's another place I definetly wont go for a swim lol
That’s very impressive
Once in a lifetime experience
Great White Sharks are amazing
Straight trolling this shark making him thinking he got a meal
Such powerful animals
That shark would be pissed!!! I mean wouldnt you when somebody gives you a plastic hamburger?... XD
Beautiful, anyone knows what the soundtrack is?
WOW !!!
I am never ever dipping my toes back in the water again
God being a seal must be a stressing life
imagine a large great white jumping out of the water and on to your boat.
vídeo brutal!!! el gran tiburón blanco es lo más impresionante que he visto .
Awesome
spectacular
Thank god it's Cape Town I'm going to Durban in a couple days 😅
Whoa~
Great film! :-D
What's the music?
Respect it
What is the music? I love it!
I want it too
If I was a shark I wouldn’t care for being teased either , they need to consume as well . Gotta give it something .
I bet the sharks are like 'waste of bloody time' when they realise the seal is a fake.
I never knew sharks could do this
cool video. not do cool to tease the sharks lol
Poor little seal 😢😢☹️😣😖😖😭😢
Sharks got wings
Tan temible como majestuoso
I'm from Cape Town, and a group of us all scuba dive in the False Bay coast. We dive rite near Seal Island, and to date ( touch wood ), I have never seen a great white. I don't think I could ever do cage diving, as I think if I saw them from the cage, I would never dive again :)
@Brian - They are like nomads. They migrate following the GREAT SARDINE RUN along the south coast and then return to Seal Island. Believe me, when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time...you will look towards Antartica's direction and suddenly see HUNDREDS of Great Whites coming "home"...their favourite "Seal Island"! Better get out of there ASAP!!!
*shark sees seal* shark=Send it
damn nature, u scary!
impresionante
It seems kind of mean to bait them with a fake seal. They do the work, then don't get a snack...WTF?
The sharks are strong and independent. They will manage, frankly it's making me angry when you think they need help.
@@moneyfarmer1 I don't think they mean that the sharks NEED help. It's more that it's a bit cruel to make them work for a fake seal. It takes alot of energy from the shark to do this, so I feel a bit bad. But yeah, they'll survive sure.
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.
Beautiful and Huge.
That's what she said :)

-well hello lunch!
