The Great White Shark

The Great White Shark is the sixth biggest shark in the world, measuring 11-21 feet, the females being much larger than the males. These sharks are one of the apex predators of the ocean, with 5 rows of teeth, even though they don't chew their food, just swallowing chunks of the prey whole. Great Whites live for about 70 years, which is around the same amount as a human. While most human attacks are purely accidental, Great White Sharks hold the record for the most human bites of every specie of shark. However, they usually eat seals, fish, dolphins, and porpoises. Great Whites live in every ocean and near every continent except for Antarctica. Unlike most other sharks, Great White Sharks are warm blooded like us. Some interesting, but spooky, facts about these sharks are that their eyes glow in the dark and their blood contains such high levels of mercury and arsenic that it is toxic.

The Great White Shark is an endangered species, even after being alive before the dinosaurs. This is due to human interference such as capturing them for their fins and teeth, which are seen as trophies. Help us keep these sharks from going extinct by clicking the button below! 👇
