A US holidaymaker's photo of a great white shark - jaws wide open and razor-sharp teeth on display - has gone viral.

New Jersey primary school teacher Amanda Brewer took the picture while cage-diving in South Africa.

The 26-year-old says it was pure luck that she captured the jaw-dropping moment when the hungry beast lunged for bait in Mossel Bay, off Seal Island.

She told Time LightBox: "I wasn't even a little bit frightened. When you're there and you're in their presence, it's not scary.

"They're beautiful and graceful, and you can see how intelligent they are."

Ms Brewer, who spent the summer in South Africa volunteering for an animal conservation group, snapped the photo with a GoPro camera.

Good God, imagine being eaten by that and it being the last thing you see O.O *shudders* though we can't all be beautiful

When I was a kid sharks were my favorite animal, they're pretty cool.

Yea, I understand that they are magnificent creatures but not being afraid shows, in my opinion, either stupidity, bravado or ignorance.

Everything about that picture makes me want to run away from it.

Hard to believe anyone can look at those teeth and describe it with words like "beautiful, graceful, intelligent."

Maybe a large portion of humanity have lost/over-ridden their survival instinct.
