Great White Shark explorers and researchers take great risks to change the perspective of people who are unfamiliar with the oceanic predator.
Their job is risky as there is always a chance of getting bitten during an encounter.?It also involves some of the most awe-inspiring sights of nature that not all are fortunate enough to experience.
Some explorers filmed an extraordinary episode that showed two frenzied great white sharks tearing giant chunks out of each other.
It's not uncommon to see the predators attacking each other. However, seeing them biting chunks off each other is a whole another level of savage that can only be captured by professional photographers and sea experts.
The incredible footage was part of a 2019 National Geographic documentary titled 'Cannibal Sharks'.?
The video established the fact that sharks often?get?injured in battle like all other creatures, even if they are apex predators.
Now, another incredible footage has captured a great white shark that is being dubbed by experts as the 'world's most battered shark.
The creature was reportedly spotted near the Neptune Islands in South Australia, an area known to be populated by more than 1,000 great white sharks.
Watch video:
The creature in the video is a large male with long scars all over his?body.
People believe it may have been injured by boat propellers or tuna fish. However, these claims cannot be confirmed without proper analysis.
Despite the marks on the body, the creature was 'friendly' and 'calm', as noted by Underwater cinematographer Dean Spraakman.
"You can only speculate what happened there and to be honest no one knows or ever really know what causes that sort of damage to a shark but the poor guy had a bit of a hard time I think," Dean told The Sun.
"I noticed he had scars on him but I didn't realise to what length until I reviewed the footage later. He was very calm and coming close and quite curious which was great," he added.
