Ever wonder how great white sharks sleep? Now, no need to wonder. A submersible has captured a video of "Emma" the great white shark sleeping on the east side of Isla Guadalupe in the eastern Pacific Ocean.  

During the day, great white sharks stay in the deep waiting for prey to swim overhead, presenting an oppurtunity to feed. At night, the sharks' behavior is completely different.  The great white shark, Emma, swims near the shoreline and stays close to the bottom, just cruising around Twin Canyons to east of Guadalupe.

An Australian photographer, Tim Samuel, captured a rare moment underwater the other day, when a small fish swam inside the bell of a jellyfish.  Samuel captured this moment while free diving in Byron Bay, later posting the photo on his Instagram account. The photo, and several posted later, have since gone viral and are receiving global media attention.
