Sea lion taunts Great White shark by biting its tail… because it knows it’s too fast for fearsome predator

A cheeky sea lion swims within the grasp of a hungry Great White Shark because it knows it’s quick enough to get away.

In a 15-minute chase, the sea lion attacks the shark by biting its tail and fins before wheeling away back to the surface to breathe.

The speedy adult sea lion is just too quick for the shark, who prefers to hunt baby seals and sea lions.

When it becomes tired of playing with the shark, it disappears off towards the coast of Guadalupe Island off the Mexican coast.

Photographer and diver Marc Henauer, 39, from Perly in Switzerland, sailed for 20 hours from the port of Ensenada in Mexico to watch the action.
