About the Book:
This groundbreaking book is a world first, depicting the Great White Sharks which dominate the False Bay area and present a unique hunting behavior of breaching during predatory events – and is the only book of its kind in print.
.
The book contains spell binding images of the Great Whites breaching and hunting seals within the False Bay area, as well as delving briefly into the life cycle of the Cape Fur Seal, Seal Island’s history and False Bay, without diverging too much from the awesomeness of the White Shark hunting these waters. 

The Great White shark is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and most awesome apex or macropredator of the seas. It is the largest predating fish on earth and has earned a much maligned reputation as an indiscriminate man-eater.
Despite the enormous popular and scientific interest in the Great White, it remains one of the least understood of the sea's creatures. Its combination of size, menace and mystery, make the Great White Shark a modern day 'monster' that many people find irresistible. 

Dirk Schmidt captures some awesome images of Great White Sharks in False Bay and illustrates the shark’s explosive presence during predatory events.  His images of Great Whites allow us to share a rare insight into Great White Shark behavior. 

The book is not meant to be sensational, but rather a true life reflection of the natural cycle of life at sea, and a guide to understanding one of the planets most awesome predator.
