FYI, that's a mako! But could use that to start mako thread. They are beautiful sharks.

Oops....it came up when I searched for great white. I will start a mako thread soon though, and I will include it

By the way, nice eye image elosha!

It says, when I google it, that it's a blacktip reef shark

[elosha11]

I actually remember the article where that image first came from. It was an extremely aggressive and feisty mako that was actually badgering a much larger male great white shark and displacing it at the chum bait. It's one of the only known interactions I've seen between the two species. Unless, I'm mistaken (don't think so), it's definitely a mako. And it's certainly not a blacktip reef shark, teeth are much different. Black tips are serrated, makos are smooth, just like the image we're discussing.


Here's black tip teeth.



And makos:

And... it looks like I WAS mistaken. I found the article where I thought the picture originated, and though very similar, it's clearly different. So the above picture may in fact be a black tip, but it's definitely not a great white!

Here the article (very interesting how aggressive this mako was in interacting with GWS) and picture I was remembering.

Punching above her weight: The pugnacious Mako refused to be intimidated by the much larger Great White Sharks like the one seen in the background and was even seen butting them out the way

Thought this thread wouldn't be complete without some images from the recent sighting of Deep Blue.







Sperm whale carcass in the background that attracted Deep Blue to the surface.

Nice pictures elosha!
Here's another one I found that looks fairly majestic:

IMO these leaping great whites just don't seem to get old
