Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In an amusigng fifteen second clip, a great white shark leaps out of the water while the camera is recording another shark grappling with some meat. Take a look below.

The sharks were chowing down in Mossel Bay on the Southern Cape of South Africa.

The camera gets a little too close for comfort - you can see the shark’s razor-sharp teeth gnawing away at the meat attached to a rope.

But it was interrupted when another shark coolly leaped metres out of the water before crashing down into the ocean.

While the divers were distracted, the meat attached to the rope was snatched away and the pair were off.
