The Great White Shark

Carcharodon carcharias
53cm/120cm/200cm

Perhaps the most well-known and recognized species of shark, the Great White, or White Pointer, inhabits the majority of the temperate waters of the world’s oceans and seas. It has a typical predatory body shape, characterized by its aerodynamic and muscular build and a mouth studded by rows of teeth which are constantly replaced. The Great White can grow to some 7 meters in lenght (around 24 feet), and is a viviparous species, giving birth to several live young individuals. It feeds primarily on fish as a juvenile and mainly on small (and not so small) marine mammals as an adult.
