All eyes are on Deep Blue, possibly the largest great white shark to ever be captured on film, as footage of the massive beast has resurfaced just in time for the Discovery Channel's Shark Week.
Shark conservationist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla captured the incredible video years ago of the 50-year-old shark, which was pregnant at the time, Fox News noted.
In the clip, "Deep Blue" is seen swimming up to a cage and around a diver, who touches the gigantic creature.
The footage was filmed near Guadalupe Island, off the west coast of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, while Padilla was doing work for Discovery Channel's "Shark Week."
And while the video clip has done its rounds on social media and already appeared in a "Shark Week 2014" telecast titled "Jaws Strike Back," it is no less breathtaking to watch.
For perspective, the average great white shark measures between 11 and 15 feet in length but "Deep Blue" clocks in at around 20-feet in length and 5,000 pounds in weight, ABC7 noted.
There have not been many recent sightings of the massive shark, however, earlier this year researchers think they may have spotted "Deep Blue" swimming in the depths at Mexico's Guadalupe.
If the footage of "Deep Blue" has taught us anything, it is that great white sharks are not necessarily the killing machines the media makes them out to be.
"They are not mindless killers," said underwater cameraman Morne Hardenberg, who worked on projects that were aired on BBC, according to The Independent.
"They have a softer side that most people don't get to see," he continued. "When they're interacting with you, they don't like you stopping and breaking off the interaction. The animal you meet can be very curious, it finds you very interesting."
