    It took reading the comment in the image for me to finally see that the shark was jumping out of the water and not stuck in ice.

      Yeah, it’s a pretty bad water effect used with this really bad shark model. Not sure why this image is so popular.

        Sadly through studies, like the one that ended in 2019, we have lost about 90% of our population then. The issue still is the use of draglines along the coast and nets which kill a large number of Sharks like in KZN, and the orcas also chase away some of our white Sharks.

        Go look up yourself to see how our population has been decimated

            I have seen one, and it was on a school trip in 2004 in Durban where they brought one of the caught great White Sharks and dissected it in front of us kids for “educational” purposes, basically showing us what it has in its stomach, how it has infinite teeth. They use these “educational” dissections as justification for draglines and nets unfortunately.

            I actually wrote an email to the new Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment: Dr Dion George, giving my two cents like how draglines and nets are outdated and dangerous to the shark population, how much better methods now exist. I only received an email saying they noted my concern. At least there are organisations really trying to save not only the great White shark but many other marine animals

    I thought Damien Hurst stole this from another artist, did the other guy steal it from this or did Damien find a way to steal something twice?
