A watching her open mouth seemed to see me hell himself. The great white shark governs the waters between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, as if to bring the life of the seas. It moves with the calm of a serial murderer and has dead eyes, black, as death. Then, With a shock, The morro unleashed to show the most terrible jaws of the kingdom of the living. It has several rows of teeth that are swords and red gums finish the stamp of the bad more among the evils of the sea. It is relentless. Four meters of muscle pull the dam, They tear it without mercy. We are all puppets underwater for the stages.

Such shadow thoughts approached me in that cage. We had left the port of Gansbaii, near Cabo de las Agujas, The southernmost point in Africa, quite further south than the corporal of good hope. The attraction of fear is the fashion claim in that part of South Africa. Several tourists wanting a good adrenaline banquet, They leave the sea every day to meet the shark.
The road gave us the snack of the sea lions dancing next to the rocks, making acrobatics under water to unleash the only smiles of the day. The wolves, if they are water, Lamb seem rather. The predator is another, It was close, only, Without bustle or cabriolas. And we were looking for it.

The operators of that excursion prepared the bait. A cube full of blood would serve to get the attention of the sinister fish. Then, in shifts and very slow, for the paralysis that caused the situation, We entered a squalid cage that immersed himself in the water. The shark has some vampire and athlete and warship and dolphin. It is a rare blend, unique, diabolical. So unusual that the only vision of its dorsal fin causes the fright of anyone. It is not necessary to listen to Spielberg's music or remember his reputation as a bloodthirsty. His contempt when passing by us is what impressed me the most, Maybe because, normally, We are not worthy of entering your menu.
At one point, I captured with my camera how the white shark threw himself for the bait wrong the bite and ended up embeding his teeth in the bars. The man in front of the shark, At that time he could smell his breath.
So far the sensations, The subjective description of this enemy by default. The truth is that, Oh poor shark, It's just a fish. A huge fish that causes panic, yes, a powerful mole that tear life if he is hungry… "Like anyone", he would think what blame does the shark of acting according to his instinct? Actually, It is a formidable being, devastating because it was conceived thus. Does not attack by whim, NO TROPHY HUNTING, What happens is that it survives fiercely because Shark was born. His image is what we associate with horror, But I would say it's anything but horrible.
"Every day of the year, That woman swam near the shore. Last year he ate a shark "
When we finish the day, in the heat of a beer in a small bar that looked out into the sea, A fisherman told us stories in a low voice, which is the tone that is used against bad omen. That man aged by the boat hours and saltpeter told us that he no longer slaughter with little draft vessels, "Not," he said- Since I saw one of eight meters. I could turn a large boat, It is too risky to go out without all precautions ". He didn't like fishing, confessed, not anymore, With so many white sharks in the area.
He also told us the story of an old woman who has swam on the beaches of Gansbaii as a child. "Every day of the year, Without exception, That woman swam near the shore. Last year he ate a shark ", The fisherman tired of tragedies sentenced.
"Fish that eat people- think-, today, here, In these beaches, In the south of southern Africa, not only tourists see fear. " There are dramas, deaths so dreadful that we can't even imagine them. Yet, them, White sharks, They just look for their lunch, like everyone else.
