Great white predator
Great whites shoot vertically out the water at a swimming speed of 40-50kph. To capture this moment of immense power and agility, a Photron camera filmed 1,000 frames per second. Slowed down 40 times, this single second of action reveals the power and technique of the ocean's master predator. Every nuance of its behaviour becomes evident as the shark toys with its prey.
