Incredible moment a Great White shark leaped out of the water - PHOTO

A Great White shark seals the fate of this hapless sea creature - as it launches itself clear out of the water to snatch a snack.The dramatic series of images were captured at Seal Island, off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa.Photographer Chris McLennan, from New Zealand, snapped 28 shark breaches in a single hour.The notorious shark-infested waters are said to be one of the only places in the world where sharks breach when hunting their prey - the Cape fur sealChris, an award winning international travel photographer, said: 'The behaviour of the Great White sharks in this area is unique. I wanted to get the Holy Grail of shark images - the breach with a natural predation.'Anyone who has photographed wildlife will know sightings of this type of behaviour are still rare to witness and more difficult to catch on camera.'Chris used a decoy seal towed by a boat during the second day of his trip when there was a lull in activity.But he still managed to capture real-life nature in action.He added: 'The only way to get a photo of this live action is to spot the seals returning from offshore fishing and then focus on a lone seal or one that has dropped off the back of a group.'By tracking just one seal, if you are lucky and the seal is not, you might get to see some action.'We witnessed our first breach within minutes of sunrise I had a breach shot within the first half hour. The action continued and we witnessed 28 predations in an hour - of which I managed to photograph three. Then it all went quite.'(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
