The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, also known as white pointer, white shark, or white death, is an exceptionally large lamniform shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans. Reaching lengths of about 6 metres (20 ft) and weighing up to 2,250 kilograms (5,000 lb), the great white shark is the world's largest known predatory fish and is able to jump outside of the water reaching the astonishing height of 4 metres up from the surface in order to catch its most favourite preys: the seals. Here, in the amazing glory of the Slow Motion we can see a pair of these jumps extracted from a BBC documentary called Planet Earth.
