About Great White Sharks
Great White Sharks can be identified by their gray skin, white bellies, bullet-shaped bodies and rows of up to 300 serrated, triangular teeth.

Great whites are the world's largest predatory fish. They grow to be about 4.6 to 6.1 meters or more and can weigh more than 2,200 kilograms.

Great Whites are found mostly along the coasts of Australia, South Africa, California and the northeastern United States. They prefer warm, salty, temperate coastal seas. The Great White can swim not only on the surface, but also more than 250m deep.

Great Whites are considered social creatures that travel in a group called a school or a shoal. When one Great White wants to take the other's prey, both sharks will display various slapping demonstrations to discourage each other. They try to avoid fighting because just one bite may disable the shark permanently.

Great White Sharks are carnivores. Their diet consists of small-toothed whales, sea lions, seals, sea turtles and dead animals.

A baby shark is called a pup. When the pup is born, it is 1.2 to 2.5 m long and completely able to take care of itself. It will immediately swim away from its mother and hunt for small marine animals.

Great Whites can live up to 70 years.
