Amazing photos of hunting sharks

Dark-gray sharks can be found in the Indo-Pacific region, but only at a depth of up to 1000 meters. These are swift predators with a rounded snout and large eyes. Although this species cannot boast of large sizes, it nevertheless differs from most reef sharks in aggressive behavior. Dark-gray sharks hunt at night, in a group or individually. Having stumbled upon a large amount of prey, they can fall into food madness, and their sense of smell is so developed that if you dissolve one part of tuna extract in 10 billion parts of sea water, they still smell.

These predators are unusually curious and extremely mobile, which is why it is truly an impossible task for a photographer to shoot them. But in the absence of light, it is already very difficult to focus. Now you understand how much effort the marine biologist, research diver and titled underwater photographer Laurent Ballleste took to shoot a series of shots of feeding dark-gray sharks to make it so perfect. In total, over 4 years of diving, he spent 3,000 hours in the waters of French Polynesia and took 85,000 shots! I can’t wait to see what he did! Share the top ten of his works.
