Happy great white shark

One of the benefits of photographing great white sharks is that you don't generally have to ask them to smile. The Legend (ID: #160), a male great white shark (Cacharodon carcharias), seemingly had quite big smile on his face as he was swimming by for this shot.

It's important to note that I'm using the term smile lightheartedly here. White shark do not actually emote through facial expressions, so their perpetual “smile” is not really an indication of their mood.
