The Great White Shark
The Great white Shark is the species of large lamniform shark which can
be found in coastal surface waters of all the major oceans, and has existed
since the Jurassic period, making it the oldest species of shark.
The great white shark is found in almost all coastal and offshore waters and in oceans
of Unite States, Chile, Japan, and South Africa. The Great White lives where sea lions
can be found, it also migrates to Hawaii and spends 100 days diving and its still unknown.
2.) Characteristics:
The Great White has a giant mouth, the upper and lower lobes on the tail are the same
size and shape, its 3.5 to 4.0 mm (13–17 ft) long and weights mass of 680–1,100 kg.
Their bite force is stronger than a dogs and a crocodile and its about 18,216 of force
of a single bite.
3.) Diet:
Great White Sharks are carnivores and prey upon fish, turtles, seals, elephant seals, and
even other sharks. American Alligators parts have been found inside the shark's stomach
and also eat oceanic sunfish, some say the great white either hunts whale sharks or
scavenges them.
4.) Shark vs. Killer Whale:
In October 4, 1997, in the farallon islands off california, a female Orca killed a
Great White shark and eat the sharks, in 200, a shark's collar was found in
a killer whale's stomach and in 2015, a pond of orcas had kill and eaten a shark.
5.)Shark Attacks:
The great white shark is responsible of 272 bite in the U.S.A, Some films like JAWS had
put the Great White as a man-eater, but sometimes it could attack you as it confuses you
for a seal or may bite you by curiosity, sometimes when they bite a person, they don' like
too much bone and don' eat the person. They also hate human flesh and let a person go
after the first bite because they don' like human flesh, people only die due to blood loss.
