Video: Great white shark jumps into Cheetah research boat

People on the Cheetah research vessel sailing off the coast of South Africa were stunned by a spontaneous 500-kilos 3-meter-long visitor. Well, the guest was actually a great white shark which seemed to lack the room in the sea and “boarded” the scientific ship after a magnificent leap.

The researchers were employing sardines to bait the great white in an effort to perform a population study for the South African Ocean Research Institute.

The study was run near Seal Island off Mossel Bay when: “I remember I heard a splash, and saw a white shark breaching out of the water from the side of the boat hovering, literally, over a crew member who was busy throwing bait on the port side,” Dorien Schröder said in an interview. This was probably the most viral event of the past days.

Luckily, the crew member was taken away from the dangerous way before the shark crawled aboard. Now the only problem was that the gorgeous white got stuck on the vessel. The people then asked for help while continuously splashing the shark with water in order to keep it alive. A second boat arrived but plans to drag the fish into the waters by using a rope failed. Subsequently Cheetah docked in the Mossel Bay harbour where a crane lifted the shark off the deck. Following skilled maneuvers the shark was in the end released into the marine environment.
Of course none regards this incident as a shark attack. Despite the fact that Enrico Gennari, co-director of Ocean’s Research, said he’s never heard of a great white jumping into a boat, however such incidents happened before, e.g. in 2008 when a white shark jumped into a boat crammed with German tourists (see also the 2008 frightening images).
