EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! This dusky shark knows how to strike a pose like no other. With its sleek and powerful body, this portrait captures the true essence of wild beauty found off the coast of Eastern Cape, South Africa. June was definitely a good month for this stunning creature! As one of nature's most fascinating vertebrates, this cartilaginous fish is part of the ground shark family known as requiem sharks. Its scientific name, Carcharhinus obscurus, perfectly suits its mysterious and enigmatic personality. With its side view captured flawlessly in this photo print, you can't help but be mesmerized by those piercing eyes and that unmistakable animal nose. It's almost as if it's inviting you to dive into the depths of the Indian Ocean alongside it. But don't worry, despite being an apex predator in these waters, our friend here is just striking a pose for Andy Murch's lens. This endangered species deserves all our attention and protection. So take a moment to appreciate the beauty that lies beneath the surface - an underwater world filled with marine wonders like this magnificent dusky shark. Let it serve as a reminder that we must do everything we can to preserve these vulnerable creatures and their fragile habitats.
