EDITORS COMMENTS
Say 'Ahh!' - This basking shark knows how to enjoy a good meal! Caught on camera off the coast of Mull, Scotland in June 2009, this incredible print captures the majestic feeding habits of the mighty Cetorhinus maximus. With its massive mouth wide open, it's hard not to be amazed by the sheer size and power of this gentle giant. The Atlantic waters surrounding Europe are home to these fascinating creatures, known for their peaceful nature and impressive filter-feeding technique. As they glide through the temperate seas, they scoop up vast amounts of tiny marine organisms with their enormous mouths, making them one of nature's most efficient vacuum cleaners! Photographer Nuno S has truly captured a moment that takes our breath away. The underwater shot showcases the beauty and grace of these magnificent vertebrates as they go about their daily routine. It's like watching a WWE match between jaws and plankton! So next time you're feeling hungry or just need some inspiration for your own mealtimes, take a look at this stunning image from Wild Wonders of Europe / Sa. It reminds us that even in the depths of our oceans, there is always something extraordinary happening – whether it's sharks having lunch or simply appreciating Mother Nature's wonders.
