World largest great white shark?


Stephen Frink (pictured), a 67-year-old photographer and diver, travelled to South Australia, South Africa and Mexico to capture photos of the world's largest great white sharks (pictured)
 


During his trek Mr Frink encountered a great white that he believes could compete with the largest recorded shark in the world – a six metre shark called 'Deep Blue'
 

Mr Frink studied Deep Blue's competition, which couldn't be measured, from within a steel cage with a fellow photographer


Although it was impossible to measure the shark at the time, he was able to take pictures of the great white as it glided in the water and opened its mouth to bare its sharp teeth.
'People are typically impressed with the predatory power of the great white, more so than any other shark,' Mr Frink said.

'Getting near and showing their behaviour is my objective,' Mr Frink, who is also a magazine publisher, said
Mr Frink said that South Australia, South Africa and Mexico are his favourite places to dive with great white sharks
 

'Getting near and showing their behaviour is my objective.'
Despite their intimidating appearance, Mr Frink said great white sharks are actually quite shy.
'Great white sharks are notoriously shy. Only lately have we known where and when to find them, reliably.
'They are beautiful. They are majestic. They deserve to live.'

When he was found as an ill stray in September last year he weighed around 1st 8lbs (11.75Kg) – almost twice his recommended weight. After a short stay at the RSPCA’s Harmsworth Hospital, who put the portly purrer him on a diet, he is now with Cats Protection. He currently weighs around 22lbs (10 Kg) and the centre is hoping to slim him down to around 13lbs (6 Kg) before finding him a new home. Cats Protection advise that cats like Sumo are at significant risk of diabetes, heart disease and arthritis and urge owners of overweight cats to seek the advice of their vet to help their feline fight the flab.
