Great White Shark's Eating Habits Caught On Camera

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's video from the waters off Cape Cod show that nature isn't always pretty.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy reminded people on Friday that nature isn't always pretty. The research group posted a video on Facebook featuring a great white shark eating a seal off the coast of Cape Cod.

"Another glimpse into the world of the Atlantic white shark," the conservancy said in posting the video taken on Tuesday. The video was taken near the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge.

The video shows a few photos of the shark before giving multiple angles of it violently eating the seal. The most compelling shot is an underwater one that gets about as up close and personal to a shark's feeding habits as anyone has a right to be.
