About Great White Sharks

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a large lamniform shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans.Great white sharks are well know for their size and have been know to exceed 20 feet in length and 5,000 pounds in weight. A great white shark can reach maturity at about 15 years of age and can have a lifespan of over 30 years. Great white sharks live in almost all coastal and offshore waters, such as the warmer waters of the Pacific, the Caribbean, and along the coast of Africa, which have water temperatures between 12 and 24°C (54 and 75°F). Great white sharks are carnivorous, and prey upon fish, seals, sea otters, and seabirds to name a few. They have also been known to eat objects that they are unable to digest. These sharks prefer prey with a high content of energy-rich fat such as seals. Great white sharks have a well-earned reputation as ferocious predators. They like to ambush their prey, taking them by surprise from below. The great white shark has a large conical-shaped snout, a gray dorsal fin and a mottled white underside. Great white sharks, like many other sharks, have rows of teeth behind the main ones, allowing any that break off to be rapidly replaced. A great white shark's teeth are serrated and when the shark bites it will shake its head side to side and the teeth will act as a saw and tear off large chunks of flesh. Great whites often swallow their own broken off teeth along with chunks of their prey's flesh.
