It has been around for a while Snopes has it as real, but folks have also told me it has obvious photoshop footprints. I dunno as I am not good with that stuff...

It is from an article on S Africa Geographic on great whites. Some great reading actually.

Here's the link...

Definately a fake... Your simple "slightly" trained eye will tell you that the perspective is ALL wrong... Also the dimensions... IF you carefully measure (I DID NOT) that shark would have to be a good 23-25 feet... HIGHLY unlikely, supposedly these fish go DEEP when they reach 20 feet and do not come back up.

That is a theory that I would challenge, if I had a MBA in Marine Science. There is very little supporting evidence, ALTHOUGH a growth hormone anomaly MIGHT perhaps push such a fish to be over 21 feet long... THAT would be ONE big, perhaps DEAD fish... His heart might be too weak to put up with it, similarly to humans. Just my home-ducated .02 cents.
