Daily Mail  

Stunning and terrifying in equal measure, dramatic images show two hungry great white sharks closing in for chunks of tuna just a few feet away from a British photographer. The hungry shark Brutus reaches for a chunk of tuna off Guadalupe Island, Mexico The hungry great white sharks were snapped by a British photographer as they fed on Tuna Guadalupe Island, Mexico is an island that has regular sightings of these great white sharks that can weigh anywhere between 1,500 - 4,000 pounds. A bit close for comfort: The striking images were captured by London-born filmmaker and photographer Euan Rannachan with a Nikon D850 in a Aquatech water housing Terrifying and striking images show a great white shark called Keyser Soze with its mouth wide open From January 10, 'all tourism activities, and film and TV productions at Isla Guadalupe' have been banned, it announced at the start of the year. A chunk of tuna appears to be dangled in the water for Brutus the shark, who clamps his jaws around it before moving towards photographer Euan Going in for the kill: The huge beast can be seen snapping up chunks of tuna in the striking portraits However, Mexican authorities highlighted two events where sharks had been seriously injured and died after getting stuck in the bars of a diving cage, saying these instances demonstrate how the practice can put the creatures at risk. Great white sharks: Feared predators of the deep Great white sharks have such a strong sense of smell that they can detect a colony of seals two miles away Great whites give birth to up to ten 'pups' but mothers will eat them if they don't swim off fast enough They swim at up to 37mph at full pelt and burst out of the water from below their prey They attack 5-10 humans every year but usually just take a 'sample bite' out of curiosity before swimming off Great whites can live to up to 70 years old They are colored white underneath to make them harder to see from below with sunlight shining down They have several rows of teeth that can number into the thousands As their teeth fall out they are replaced by razor sharp teeth in the row behind Sharks can also pose a threat to humans, with recent videos showing close calls between swimmers and the beasts.
