Monster Sharks

[Mako Mark]

OK, I know that I recieved this photo through the internet, and while I must admit it looks impressive, I have this lingering doubt about its authenticity.

Does anyone know about this photo, how much it has been touched up in photoshop.

Comments??

sure they are sharks, and not large mammals...??? Perhaps the depth of the water, along with the shadow cast by the sun, plays a part in the size discrepancies.. Or it could just be those 20-25 foot great whites, that swim in the oceans....

Actually the picture was a fake. The link above talks about the fake and shows the original picture.

The annual sardine migration does brink alot of sharks along South Africa's coast and many do eat until they can't swim any more and wash ashore. There are some great articles about it.

Not suprised about the pic looking fake.

The sardine info was very interesting.

the pic is trash.

But on the other hand the Sardine Run is way cool. I missed this years one by a day but despite that still got to see an extreme amount of sharks on Protea Banks.
Check the Africa/Middle East forum for some threads on the this years run.
