I wonder if that's a post mortem photo. The sea foam is awfully white for a creature with holes that big and a still beating heart.

I was thinking it was post mortem too. The foam is just the wake of the speeding boat. So the foam should be ignored. But it looks the shark is arching its head back. I think it would have to still be alive to do that. I think if it was dead, it would be straighter. But I'm not sure. It could be dead. Do sharks get rigor? That might explain the pose.

Yeah, I knew the foam came from the prop action, but I'd figure there would be more red in it if the shark was still bleeding. Even if it's just a little bit of pink towards the top or right around the wounds. But it's pure white.

The wounded creature was still alive when a crew hauled it onto a boat, close to Deadman's Beach.
