According to Fox 8, photographer Jordan Arnast caused a sensation when he captured a giant great white shark leaping 15 feet out of the sea around 11:00 at the annual surfing competition at the San Diego Surf Club in San Diego County, California.


It is reported that in this amazing shot, Taylor Warren, a famous local surfboard maker, was surfing when a long and thin shark galloped past him.


Afterwards, he said he was completely unaware of it and didn't even know that the shark had appeared from behind.


Arnast, who plans to frame the photo for Warren, said, "it looks like shark whirlwind and is very out of touch with reality.


Over the past few decades, I have captured some unforgettable moments and even filmed this rare shot, which is so cool. "


Matt Enlet, a member of the surfing club, said beach tourists became excited to see this behind the scenes, but many surfers didn't seem to mind.


There have been a lot of shark sightings over the years, and no one is really that worried.


Enlet saw two baby sharks about six feet away the other day and said he saw "several people nearby paddling frantically towards the beach."


It is well known that San Onofre Beach is a breeding ground for juvenile great white sharks, and this is not the first time sharks have invaded the area.


A shark appears on the water during a surfing competition at the lower trestle north of San Onofre in 2019.


In 2021, a shark jumped out of the water during the World Surfing Federation Finals, suspending the game.


But Chris Lowe, director of shark behavior at the University of California, long Beach, said that while shark jumping out of the water is not common, it is not entirely uncommon.


He said the researchers pointed out that the young sharks did this to practice ambushing, chasing prey and dispelling external parasites.


"Many predators exhibit various predation behaviors without prey practice, so these behaviors that jump out of the water may be young sharks playing and ambushing."


Sharks will jump out of the water, but only in rare cases, because sharks are fish, not mammals, sharks breathe on swim bladders.


And in order to maintain normal physiological metabolism, sharks must constantly swim to adjust.


You don't have to surface to breathe.


Sharks belong to vertebrate phylum Chondroplast Gill subclass, marine, a few species into fresh water, for a group of fast medium and large marine fishes.


The shark endoskeleton is composed entirely of cartilage, often calcified.


But without any real bone tissue, the exoskeleton is not very developed or degenerated, the body is often covered with skin teeth (scales).


Teeth are diversified, with hard muscles, but the membranous bone never exists and the brain is seamless.


The upper forehead is composed of palatal cartilage and the lower forehead is composed of Mei's cartilage.


The latest research shows that sharks contain a variety of bioactive components, such as anticancer factors, squalene, mucopolysaccharide and so on.
