    I can say unequivocally, without doubt, so much so if I am wrong I will post a naked picture of myself on here (fear not though, I'm not wrong) and with no shortage of expertise that this shark is without question a juevnile Great White Shark.

    Great Whites ARE found in Florida, it's not a Mako, no chance, it's as much an elephant as it is a Tiger or Bull Shark. It's a Great White.

    Great video.

    It is a juvenile GWS.

    Why Juvenile? It is not that big.

    It is not a tiger.

    It is not a bull.

    It is not a mako.

    It is a GW.

    Because of it's size and the disproportinate size of it's fins in relation to overall body size. It's hard to scale it but I'd say this shark is between 4-6 years old.
