GREAT WHITE JUMPS INTO RESEARCH BOAT IN SOUTH AFRICA

The web page found at http://www.perthnow.com.au/great-white-shark-jumps-into-research-boat-in-south-africa/story-fn6cmyjj-1226099134745= shows the moment after a 3m great white shark leapt on board a marine science vessel, leaving scientists with the rather delicate challenge of not only keeping it alive, but getting it off board. “A great white shark leapt metres into the air and onto a marine science vessel, leaving the crew to face the angry, thrashing specimen as it tried to stay alive. Six members of Oceans Research organisation were collecting data on sharks in Mossel Bay, 388km west of Cape Town, when the 3m shark leaped out of the water and landed on the boat's fuel and bait storage containers.”
