Must-see: White shark leaps from water in pursuit of seal

Sharks have made quite a few headlines this summer, but this viral video may be leaps and bounds above them all, literally.

"We had never seen a breach out of water before," AWSC President Cynthia Wigren said. "It was pretty incredible to see."
