Awesome photo: surfers and jumping shark
by friver ~ July 22nd, 2008. Filed under: Strange Animals.
Photographer Kem Mc Nair was taking photographs of surfers at New Smyrna Beach in Florida, USA when, by pure chance, he captured this startling image.
In the picture are two surfers in the water, while behind them a spinner shark leaps out of the water, seemingly just at the spot where one of them had been a few seconds earlier.
Did Mc Nair catch on film a near miss of a shark attack? Spinner sharks have been known to occasionally attack humans, with 13 unprovoked attacks on record. None of the attacks, though, have ever resulted in any human fatalities.
