THIS fearsome Great White shark was smart enough to play the game of being teased by a brave Brit dangling its favourite yellowfin tuna.

Guadalupe Island, Mexico is an island that has regular sightings of these great white sharks that can weigh anywhere between 1500 - 4000 pounds. The island, which is a migration path for elephants and fur seals, has become a regular place of visit for these sharks, which can reach 21 feet in length.

These images were captured by London-born filmmaker and photographer Euan Rannachan (36) at the Guadalupe Island in Mexico with a Nikon D850 in a Aquatech water housing.

One of the images shows a bloody mouthed white shark reaching for a yellowfin tuna.

“Some sharks like to play the game when we use fish to bring them in while others look at the cages and then swim off.” said Euan.

“I am always surprised at how much a white shark’s body shape changes when they open their mouths.

“Their mouths open fully when they are fully positive they are going to get what they are after.

“Their core body temperature drops by a few degrees when they open their mouths and they need a lot of energy to warm up again, especially because of their size.”

Born in London, England, Euan has a way with sharks. He says that his time with sharks in the water is peaceful marred by very few moments of aggression.

“I am usually very close to them” said Mike.

“Hardly a few inches or a couple of feet away from them.

“Most of the time the shark just swims around waiting for its moments to strike the bait.

“I can’t wait to get back to them and start shooting again.”
