6. Real. Seen sharks fly out of the water like that before, in person even. Never seen one jump THAT high though... but I'm sure it's very possible.

8. yes it is real, great white shark hunting for seals. they attack the seals from beneath with such force that they come out of the water that high.

9. That's a dolphin.

This is almost as credible as that picture, or should I say paused part of Jaws, where that DRY shark was eating that girl

11. I dont believe that is a shark. It is my belief that the picture you are looking at is a Porpoise; And it is most certianly not flying. It is being hunted as food for a killer whale (Orca) Killer whales hunt by temporarily paralyzing thier prey, they do this by swimming to the prey at full speed from there softest point (the stomach) and propelling them out of the water. By the time they hit the water again they are knocked out or killed and eaten as food. In fact if you look at the markings on the "Fish" its markings are that of a Porpoise, with the dark marking or "Stripe" on the top half of the animal all the way down to his face then it covers the face.

12. Whether or not great whites jump clear of the water when hunting seals, this is some variety of dolphin. And though it's possible it's been knocked out of the water by an orca attack, they also make leaps in the wild similar to the ones that are so popular in water parks -- without seeing what happened before and after this frame, it's really impossible to tell why the animal is in the position it is...

17. Sharks can breach the water. watch "air jaws" but this looks like a dolphin

18. Look at the dorsal fin size, that will tell you what it is. And sharks can leap that high, never seen one flip over and enter nose down like that though.
