If sharks were not terrifying enough for the average swimmer, diver and surfer, flying sharks are sure to evoke a new sense of dread. False Bay in Cape Town is home to the only group of Great White Sharks in the world that perform these leaping feats on a regular basis. However, these sizeable sharks are not becoming airborne as an evolutionary adaptation to retrieve birds in the air or to spot hapless swimmers near the shore. Rather, they are breaching, much the same way that whales do, as part of their hunting behavior.
There is a video where you can see tha sharks doing their thing.
