That is a 100% juvenile Great White shark.

On the tuna run from Malta/ Adriatic I bet. Those areas are breeding grounds for great whites, although their migratory patterns remain a mystery for the most part.

i wonder where the mother might be.

It'll be on the menu in the Latsi fish restaurants, ready for the tourist season.

Yep that is a Great White.

I didn't think you can get a Great White in Cyprus.

Should have been left alone. So many better tasting fish to eat which are not on the endangered risk list.
