Beautiful shot of #SharkIDLucy taken by @juansharks. The mainstream media often depicts large white sharks like this as malicious killing machines but in reality they are very cautious, calculated, non-confrontational and do not view humans as a food source. Keep any eye out for @savingjawsmovie coming sometime next year to @netflix which will take a deeper look at some of the numerous misconceptions surrounding sharks and showing a more accurate portrayal of how these animals really are versus what the media wants you to believe. #FearSells #DontBiteIntoTheFear #Coexist #apexpredatornotmonster ____________ #Repost @juansharks γ»γ»γ» Meet Lucy, one of the largest great white sharks in Guadalupe. Lucy was one of the 1st white sharks I got to dive with in Guadalupe in 2007 with @abc4explore. So excited to see how well she is doing despite her broken upper caudal fin. She now has a huge family of pilot fish to keep her company and she has probably has doubled in size. If u could call a great white shark sweet and gentle, this how I would describe Lucy. She is a powerful predator, but the last thing she would want to do is to take unnecessary risk. Like most larger shark, Lucy is cautious and calculated, not the monster that traditional media wants u to believe. Stoked to share this experience with @oceanramsey @silenthunterpty @big_island_billy @chriscameron.sa @sharkaddictsdiving @deanocook and all the crew that came out with us @oneoceanresearch @oneoceandiving #ApexPredatorNotMonster #cagethefear photo by #JuanOliphant using @aquatech_imagingsolutions @cressi1946 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYHd-rh433/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=162whrnzb6095
