Great White Shark

A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a large, predatory shark found in coastal waters of all major oceans. It is the world's largest known predatory fish and is known for its powerful bite and streamlined body. 🦈

Great white sharks have a robust, torpedo-shaped body with a conical snout and a powerful, crescent-shaped tail. Their dorsal side is a slate gray or brownish-gray, which helps them blend in with the rocky seafloor, while their belly is a bright white. They have large, triangular teeth that are serrated, which helps them to tear off large pieces of flesh.

Great white sharks are found in coastal and offshore waters, but they prefer temperate seas. They are carnivores and apex predators. Their diet consists of a variety of marine mammals, including sea lions, seals, and dolphins. They are an ambush predator, using their coloring to stalk their prey from below before launching a surprise attack.

Great white sharks are generally solitary animals, but they may congregate at feeding sites. They are a highly migratory species, traveling thousands of miles in search of food and breeding grounds. Despite their reputation, great white sharks do not view humans as prey and most attacks on humans are believed to be a result of mistaken identity.
