Great White Snack?
Posted by: Max Hawthorne on May 27th, 2014
Here’s an interesting photo of a great white shark doing what looks like an underwater tail-stand. What I like about it is, when you check out the bottom right, there appears to be a strange, mottled, V-shaped image that almost looks like something holding the shark in its “mouth.” Probably just air bubbles or reflections off the water, right? There’s nothing out there (besides Orcas) that snacks on the world’s largest carnivorous fish . . . Or is there?

I don’t see the “V”; I see a dorsal fin, with out corresponding image on the other side.
FAIL.
I think this site just jumped the shark.
National Enquirer worthy. Worst post to date.
What is this I don’t even…
What bothers me is the picture itself…low res (where is the original?) and cropped (maybe by seeing the whole picture might shed some light). So what’s the point in posting this besides just for the sake of posting?
There is nothing really discernible in the area mentioned. What looks to be a fin on the right side is likely to be the left pectoral fin of the shark itself distorted by the water surface.
What is the original source of the picture? Most searches lead to various blogs that just simply have the same image with no caption.
