Swimmers witness close up shark fight over a fish head in Belize

Nurse sharks are large and formidable looking creatures with strong jaws and impressive teeth, but their nature is much more docile than you might expect. Their mouths are actually designed more for scavenging than attacking anything and they are particularly relaxed around people. These completely wild sharks live on the reef in Belize and swimmers and divers are delighted to share the water with whenever the opportunity presents itself.
