That last shot of the Great White fully breaching the water is easily one of the best pieces of wildlife footage ever recorded.

[deepchouragade]

A moment of appreciation for filming such a scene.

I remember clear as day watching it when it first came out in 2006. I was 10 years old and I'll never forget my me and family's reaction. No one had ever seen anything like it before. Ever. The shot at 2:09 is a landmark in the history of film.

[JohnDoe-vpsh]

2:25 probably the greatest single footage ever recorded in animal world

[redditshorts]

I remember watching this for the first time. David Attenborough's voice was so calm and soothing and was almost putting me to sleep, and BAM! The sight of a great white shark propelling itself out of the water shook me to the core!

[dylanryan]

Years later I still come back to watch this video. That subtle violin when the shark breached in the last clip chills everytime.

[Arielelian]

Beautiful and terrifying. I have a great appreciation that these magnificent fish exist, but I never want to come face to face with one.

That final jump in slow motion is a real piece of art.

[uuoybre]

The real thing is more terrifying than any exaggerated shark in any move I have ever seen.

One of the most spectacular scenes ever shown on TV, the making of tell us even more, shot at 1, 000 frames a second, played back at 25 frames a second, the harness stopped the camera from wobbling with the waves, amazing

[peachtrees]

Imagine the power required to propel your 2000lbs + out of the water while ramming into and gulping down a 200lbs+ seal. Talk about power!

[tetitasmilwaukee]

I remembered the first time I saw this scene. I was shocked and speechless. bbc the best!

[nikunjdixit]

Actually seeing this in real life would probably be both the most exhilarating and terrifying moment of my life. Just thinking of a huge Great White jumping clear out of the water gives me goosebumps.

[kingrob]

Considering seals can grow between 6 and 8 ft long and weigh between 300 - 800+ pounds these sharks are immensely powerful.

[jamlym]

Let's take a moment and be thankful that we're not seals.

[lizard]

I think it took the researchers a year to catch the great white breaching like that. Absolutely breathtaking

[carlsmith]

BBC is amazing. They spend so much money to capture these types of moments, and then post them online for free for anyone to watch.

[kaylierawlings]

This video has reminded me how much Great Whites scare me.

[denismay]

The power of Nature captured in a outstanding manner by some very professional photographers. Excellent addition to the BBC Earth's massive library of videos.
