A Welsh fisherman is claiming to have spotted a great white shark swimming off the Pembrokeshire coast, and he snapped a picture of it on his mobile phone.
David John says he caught a glimpse of the monster fish when it spectacularly breached the surface of the water less than 100 yards from his fishing boat. He quickly whipped out his mobile phone and snapped away as the shark gaped it’s wide mouth, showing off it’s rows of teeth.
John says an Irish shark fisherman working in the area confirmed that the picture was indeed a legendary great white.
“It wasn’t until I got home that I looked again and realised what I’d got. At first I thought it was a seal,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“You can’t mistake the shape of the head and you can see an eye and the mouth.
“And from what I understand, great whites do break the water like this.
“It would make sense for it to be in that area as there are plenty of seals for it to feed on.”
Great white’s do indeed feed on seals, our expert confirms. And the way the shark is breaching the water makes it look like a Great white. It is the classic way a white comes out of the water.
