World's biggest Great White Shark EVER spotted in rare sighting
17 Jan 2019 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/wo...hark-attack-biggest-deep-blue-hawaii-pictures
The ominous beast, dubbed Deep Blue, is rarely captured on film.
The 20-ft long Great White Shark was initially spotted feeding on a sperm whale carcass 20 miles off Oahu’s south shore in Hawaii on Tuesday.
In photos taken by diver Mark Mohler and posted on Facebook, she is seen swimming alongside divers.
“My first reaction was just disbelief,” Mr Mohler said.
“She followed three tiger sharks in toward the whale carcass, and her sheer size made them look like barracudas.”
Photographer George Probst announced the Deep Blue sighting on Twitter a day later, when another enormous white shark was spotted near the whale carcass.
Deep Blue is believed to be more than 50 years old and weights a whopping 2.5tns.
Researchers have been following the shark for many years and is easily spotted by her size and deep scars across her back.
The massive predator is wider than an adult hippo.
She became famous after being featured by Discovery in 2014.
The gargantuan shark generated headlines again in 2015 when Mauricio Hoyas Padilla, a Mexico-based scientist, shared footage showing the shark dwarfing divers in cages at Guadalupe Island.
Experts say great white sharks coming to Hawaii is not rare.
“They’ve been coming here forever,” Dr Melanie Hutchinson, a shark researcher for the University of Hawaii, told local media.
“About 20% of the population from California and Mexico migrate here every year or every other year.
“So they are typically here in the winter.”
Daily Star Online previously revealed another diver’s close encounter with a great white shark has left viewers petrified to step into the water.
The shocked diver quickly grabs his head, before finally noticing the huge animal which could have cost him his life.
Last week, a professional surfer collided with a giant shark mid-race.
And just last month, a diver spotted a “10-metre” shark lurking under the water, leading some to believe the legendary megalodon shark is still alive.
