Great White Shark Jumps | Incredible Footage of Sharks Leaping Out
Yes, a shark can jump out of the water. However, not all sharks do so. Great white sharks jump out of the water to catch faster prey like seals.
When sharks jump out of the water, it is commonly referred to as breaching. Breaching is a behaviour most commonly seen in larger species of sharks, such as great whites and tiger sharks.. This is an impressive display of acrobatics which often looks like a shark launches itself completely out of the water and back down with a splash.
Breaching generally occurs when a shark is pursuing prey or showing territorial dominance. It has been suggested that this behaviour increases their success rate when hunting and intimidating their competitors.
The exact purpose of breaching is still disputed amongst scientists. However, some theories suggest that the movement allows sharper turns while chasing prey or gives them access to areas they would otherwise struggle to reach by swimming alone. The force generated by breaching also allows them to travel faster than usual, which helps them catch fleeing prey with greater ease
Some scientists believe that it could also be used to detect vibrations caused by potential prey underwater, which might explain why it’s usually done at dawn or dusk when visibility underwater is reduced due to low light levels...
