Natural Predation

Seeing a Great White Shark breach fully out of the water on a Cape Fur Seal is an incredibly rare wildlife moment to witness. The raw power of these animals is awe inspiring. We go and anchor off of seal Island during their prime hunting hours to moniter their predations. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

Great White Shark Program, Great White Shark Breaching Trip "white shark ocean"

Breaching trips are predominantly used for documantary making. Capturing a natural predation is insanely difficult. To give the team a fighting chance of documenting the Great White Shark hunting strategy on camera we tow a decoy seal close to the island and wait for the sharks to stike.
