A great white shark swims through the clear waters of Isla Guadalupe, far offshore of the Pacific Coast of Baja California. This individual is a male, not the prominant claspers (ventral caudal area). Guadalupe Island is host to a concentration of large great white sharks, which visit the island to feed on pinnipeds and tuna.
