GREAT WHITE OFF THE COAST OF RIMINI

Some time ago, I posted a documentary about great white sharks in the sea between Europe and Africa. Although not often seen, they are present. The longest caught could have been close to 23 feet.

I remember a documentary from Cousteau. It was broadcasted in the eighties of the last century or so. They caught a big great white just north of Egypt and tied the shark to the boat. While talking about the shark, another great white appeared and immediately attacked the shark tied to the ship. That shark most probably was still alive when it was attacked. I don't know how much a great white can consume in one sitting, but what I saw was impressive.

Close to Rimini (Italy), a man and his son were fishing at sea. Might have been 1998. They caught a thresher shark. Than a great white moved in and attacked the thresher. Ferocity at work:
