Great White Sharks

Although their population is not as extensively dispersed, great white sharks are also well known for their vast distribution in all the main oceans. These sharks are members of the huge mackerel shark species, which is notable for its size and longevity, making it one of the cartilaginous fish species with the longest life spans.


Although these sharks' appearances are similar for both sexes, they exhibit sexual dimorphism in size, with the females being larger than the males. Their undersides are white, and their upper bodies are dark grey. The only other natural predators of great white sharks are orcas. The young fish typically consume smaller fish because their teeth aren't powerful enough to devour seals or bigger species.


The adults, on the other hand, eat other sharks, all varieties of seals, sea otters, seabirds, and sea turtles in addition to dolphins, whales, and porpoises. Sea turtles are indeed eaten by great white sharks. They actually pose the greatest threat to sea turtles, especially after they reach adulthood. Because of their size and strength, great white sharks can pierce the shell of sea turtles. Although all sharks frequently attack sea turtles' fins first, a great white shark can easily bite through the turtle's shell, seriously injuring it and making it an accessible target for paralyzing and then rapid consumption.
