If you think back to your childhood, you may remember a brief (or extended) period of shark obsession. It was probably around the same time that you were obsessed with stealth bombers, dinosaurs, and He-Man. A lot has changed since those days, and certain things have lost their luster over time. Stealth bombers are a joke, dinosaurs are too remote a fantasy (for most of us), and, well, let’s face it – He-Man was kind of gay. But even though most of our childhood daydreams have been quashed, at least we’ve got something that’s still unequivocally sweet.

Why do kids love sharks? Because they’re totally badass! In case you’ve forgotten how sweet great whites are, Planet Earth went out in the ocean for an entire month with one of those cameras they use for filming automobile crash tests. After all that time, they finally managed to grab literally ONE SECOND of footage of a great white totally destroying a seal. What that one second of footage revealed when viewed in ultra-slow motion was nothing short of a scientific breakthrough. It’s pretty technical and there’s a lot of jargon involved – you know how these marine biologists are – but let me sum it up for you in layman’s terms: great white sharks totally fucking rule.
