An extraordinary picture captures the moment that the shark engulfs its fellow animal in its mouth, as if trying to eat it in one go. Shark guide Mia Vorster, who captured the remarkable moment, said the shark was trying to gulp a sardine and caused no damage to the other undersea beast. 'The images portray the sharks in their full glory. They come visit us every day and are really friendly and comfortable around the humans in the water,' she said. The pictures were taken at Aliwal Shoal off the eastern coast of South Africa. Swift and energetic, blacktip sharks are known to make spinning leaps out of the water while attacking schools of small fish. They are normally wary of humans but can become aggressive in the presence of food.
