Hungry Shark Loses Lunch ... And A Tooth
This Great White shark lost not only its lunch but also its tooth when it attacked a decoy seal.
The hungry shark leapt out of the water to snatch up what it thought was a tasty Cape fur seal in its massive jaws.
However, it was actually a decoy and the over enthusiastic shark bit down so hard that one of its teeth was sent flying.
The moment was caught on camera by photographer Dan Callister off the coast of Seal Island near Cape Town, South Africa.
A large population of sharks patrol the waters around Seal Island, which is home to around 64,000 Cape Fur seals from April to September.
With such an abundant food supply close by, scores of sharks patrol the seas around the island on the look out for young and inexperienced seal pups.
To reach the open sea to feed the seals must first cross these shark-infested waters - passing through what is known as the 'ring of death'.
The predators then catch their prey in truly spectacular fashion.
Approaching from below, the sharks leap nearly vertically out of the waves to snatch seals swimming close to the surface.
The behaviour means that the area is acknowledged as the best in the world to witness sharks breaching.

Preying Mantis appear to be doing acrobatics, Kahramanmaras, Turkey - 29 Jun 2011
These insects looked like an acrobatic display team as they performed a series of daring highwire stunts - on a twig. The performance started with one praying mantis clambering onto its partner's back and being lifted above her head. Photographer Arif Avize watched as the mantis then balanced on one leg and shuffled gently to remain balanced. The 38-year-old said: "I found these two female praying mantises while out for a walk. "They were having a dual but seemed to be doing acrobatics." Arif, who took the photos in his home town of Kahramanmaras, Turkey, added: "They are very photogenic and move like humans."
