errrm REAL
Spoiler
[face=Comic Sans MS]Well to be honest the foreground looks more real than the back ground to me! :roll: So it may be FAKE but I'll say...... I think this shark has got stuck in a coastal area and the Navy were called in to tempt it away from shore. Alternatively it is a scene set for a movie.[/face]

I'll say Fake
Spoiler
The odds on someone being in position to take that particular photograph must be billions to one. Also I am sure that if a shark that size had leaped out of the water at the man on the ladder, it would not have missed :P

Hee hee. Maybe the shark didn't miss and we're seeing the shot which was taken just before the baited hook got bitten. ;) [/face]

Whoops, forgot to add my guess....

It is SO unlikely that I think it is TRUE......and there was probably an audience with cameras and one was bound to get the shot.

I knew that one was false because I've seen it on the Urban Legends site. Nice photoshop work, however.

I'm going for FAKE.
Spoiler
Although a photo to show the difference in size of horses is quite feasable, I think this one has been 'manufactured'. There is something about the shadows or lack of them that doesn't seem right.

Its Real!!!

She may be small, a mere 17 inches and weighing only 60 pounds. But she is all horse.

Born as a dwarf to a miniature horse, Thumbelina is officially the world’s smallest horse.

She may never aspire to be a champion show-jumper – she is so tiny she would find it hard to jump over a bucket.

But these things matter little to the feisty Thumbelina, who has been officially recognized as the world’s smallest horse.

That title was conferred on her in 2006 when the five-year-old entered the Guinness Book of Records.

The real-life My Little Pony was born on an American farm to a couple who specialize in breeding miniature horses.

Normally these horses weight about 250lb and rise to a height of 34 inches when they are fully grown.

But from the day she was born it was clear that tiny Thumbelina would never grow to that size.

She weighed in at only 8lb – the size of a new-born baby - when she was born. Eventually she grew to just 60lb.

Her amazing size has been explained as dwarfism. This makes her a miniature of a miniature.

She may be a mini-horse, but small means beautiful as far as her owners, the Goessling family in Goose Creek farm in St. Louis, are concerned.

She likes to hang out with the cocker spaniels rather than the other horses on their 150-acre farm.

“When she was born, she was so small we thought she wasn’t going to make it. She looked very ill. We feared the worse.

“Because her legs are proportionally smaller than her body and her head, she has to wear orthopaedic fittings to straighten them out a lot of the time.

“But we love her and wouldn’t want her any other way,” said Michael Goessling, whose parents Kay and Paul bred the miniature horses.

She only measures up to the shins of the normal-sized horses in the paddock.

Michael’s parents have bred hundreds of miniature horses, but they have never had one as small as Thumbelina. She has become something of a celebrity in her home town in America.

She lives on a cup of grain and a handful of hay, served twice a day.

She is expected to live to the age of 17 years because of her size – normal horses live for about 35 years.

“She was just a complete fluke and we call her a mini mini. She is too precious to sell. I think my parents would sell me before they part with Thumbelina. She has that special Wow factor, which you only get when you see how small she really is,” said Michael.

While she has the ability to get pregnant and give birth, the Goessling family have decided not to allow this to happen.

There could be complications during the pregnancy, they believe, so it is better to avoid the risks. And also they don‘t feel it is right that the gene which creates dwarfism in horses be carried on through future generations.
