This Terrifying Video of Largest Great White Shark Ever Caught on Camera Will Make You Shiver

The great white shark was pregnant, measured over six metres in length and was estimated to be 50 years old
 

The 20-foot-long shark was first filmed near Mexico's Guadalupe Island and featured on Discovery Channel show Jaws Strikes Back.

Researchers tagged the enormous fish and videographer Mauricio Hoyos Padilla released footage of it interacting with the divers inside a cage.

Shortly after the predator led the group of researchers to where she more than likely feeds - an elephant seal colony.

At the time the fish was filmed it was pregnant and measured over six metres in length. Researchers estimated that the giant was also around 50 years old.

The footage shows Deep Blue swimming towards the divers inside their protective cage while under water in Mexico.

 

The fish swims alongside the cage and dwarfs the researchers watching on before turning slowly and approaching the video maker.

The shark then passes the second cage very closely and Mauricio is able to capture a quick glimpse of Deep Blue's huge teeth before she swims away again.

 

 

According to the documentary the shark is recognisable by her scars, gained through either fighting or mating, as well as her huge size.

Researchers also noted that the shark has a large, gaping hole on her right trunk and her dorsal fin and tail appear to be scraped and damaged.
