Smile! 14ft shark flashes a toothy grin for the camera
03rd November 2009
Boasting a toothy grin, this gigantic shark seems more than happy to pose for the camera.
In fact, the predator seems more reminiscent of Bruce, the smiling cartoon shark from the 2003 cartoon Finding Nemo, than a bloodthirsty cousin of Jaws.

The 14ft great white was snapped off the coast of Guadalupe island, Mexico, by scuba diver Amos Nachoum in August.
Daredevil Amos regularly swims with the monsters and even takes divers on expeditions to meet them.
The 59-year-old boasted: ‘I have a 100 per cent safety record.
'These sharks aren’t the ferocious creatures we see in Jaws.
‘The danger is in your mind.’
Nevertheless, the image is a little too close to the jaws of death for most people's comfort.
Fortunately sharks are believed to be short-sighted.
Scientists have claimed that attacks on humans are usually a case of mistaken identity.
