There’s something visually stirring about seeing nature do what comes, well, naturally. If the success of masterfully done series like Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II are any indication, the simplicity of predator versus prey is absolutely captivating – especially the drama of an unpredictable escape. The following images aren’t quite on the level of the acclaimed BBC shows. Not even close, in fact. Still the images are pretty nuts. Schools of fish look like giant dark oceanic clouds. Clearings around each shark show fish trying to escape a grizzly fate.

The images were captured late last month by SharkSmart, an app and Twitter account launched by the government of New South Wales in 2015 to track the movement of sharks along the region’s beaches.
