Understanding Jaws: Great White Shark Bites

Understanding Jaws: Great White Shark Bites

A great white shark demonstrates the power of its infamous jaws – but loses one of its razor sharp teeth in the process. This mesmerising video shows the mechanics of the predator’s unique mouth, and was filmed by shark educator, Skyler Thomas, from a shark proof cage submerged into the ocean. Most of the footage was shot in Guadalupe, Mexico, and South Africa, between July and August 2015, and shows the shark’s tooth falling out from natural causes. White sharks have five rows of teeth in the bottom and the top of their mouth – with 48 ultra sharp fangs at the front.

Videographer / Director: Skyler Thomas
Producer: Mark Hodge, Nick Johnson

I got attacked by a great white last summer. Their jaws are not nearly as strong as you'd think. I was able to hold its mouth open, preventing it from biting down, one kick to the back of its throat and it backed off real god damn fast.
