Great White Hunting Tactic Breach

For today's blog I decided to do on the great white and it's hunting tactics, As you may know the great white is known for its breaching tactic this tactic is used to ambush their 

prey from below. They can jump completely out of the water and catch their prey how ever they let the prey bleed out before eating it to prevent the risk of getting hurt. Also when breaching they close their eyes before impact to protect them from harm. Now look at how the great white is colored it has a black back and a white belly this is used to camouflage at the bottom of the sea to ambush they're prey.
