Great White Shark of Cornwall

http://www.simplygites.com
- SHOCKED - tourists told of their terror last night over the Great White shark sighting off Cornwall.

This short video contains the actual Cornwall shot of the great white and other pics of other great whites - is the Cornwall one for real or is it a hoax, you decide?

One holidaymaker said: "This has got to be every swimmer's worst nightmare."
The Jaws alert was raised after a stunned dad filmed the fearsome fish just 200 yards from a beach in St Ives.
He was videoing dolphins and only realised the killer shark was hunting among them when he watched the footage at home.
Last night Britain's leading shark expert confirmed the 12ft creature was definitely a predatory shark and there was every chance it was a Great White — immortalised in the 1975 Steven Spielberg movie Jaws.
Excited chairman of the Shark Trust, spoke out after studying the dads astonishing film.
He said: "It clearly has a white belly like a Great White. And something about the way it breaches — twisting as it leaps out of the water — also suggests it is. I'm very excited at the prospect."
But warned tourists to brace themselves for mass evacuations if the shark reappears. He said: "If a Great White is in the sea close to bathers, lifeguards have orders to clear the beaches."
A fish curator of the Natural History Museum, said after studying the video: "It's definitely predatory and definitely big. I can't rule out a Great White."
A local government officer in Rotherham, was holidaying with his wife when he shot the film last month.
He was standing with his kids above Porthmeor Beach when he first saw the dolphins playing.
He said: "I got my camcorder and started filming. It was really lovely as dolphins are so graceful.

okay, only the first pic is really from Cornwall England and it can't be a great white. it's probably a Porbeagle shark, which is a cousin to the great white.

what utter bullshit. i lived in cornwall for 26 years and not once have i seen a great white shark. most of the pics were from jaws movie and the shark with a white fin is a mako shark which is a great white sharks cousin. so get facts right first as cornwall is far to cold for great whites to be there in the first plac
