Did I just hear you say, they earned a bad reputation from movies?? Mahn! They are really bad. Sharks are cold blooded killers, although I know the great white shark is partially warm blooded but all the same, they are killers.
And as for the jaw. It looks too scary in the shark's mouth. It's nice you uploaded the other one at least that looks mild...
Nice one though, I just thought you were going to say you had it in your zoo, Lol...
Amazing well detailed article. It will be very good if people get more responsible in preserving these natural beauties by not disturbing them. The curiosity of people sometimes end up in hurting them which i feel should not happen. Thanks for the article.
That was valid information i like it.I always loved the nature and all that ,shark are consider as danger because of their human attacks and thats why nobody loves but as a nature speice we should not harm them and not make them furious.and one more thing i see didnt see the baby shark or them ina pack ,have you any information about it?
Not a lot is known about their social behaviour which is why scientists are tagging them to try and get an idea. In particular where they go to breed. In terms of Mum and baby, once the baby is born it is left to its own devices and Mum or dad have no involvement in its upbringing. I hope this answers your question :)
I don’t understand your comment.. an animal is only “dangerous” when it is provoked. As for being terrible, I feel bad that you feel that way about an incredible animal like this. I wish you could see the animal for the way I wrote and intended.
I admire the amount of time you put into this as I'm a huge lover of any and all things marine science.
when viewed from above their dark colour blends with the abyssal depths below, and when viewed from below their bright underside blends with the incoming light from above, when viewed from the side their entire outline appears broken and makes them difficult to distinguish
this is called countershading and is used by a great number of species in the ocean as a defense mechanism as well as an offense mechanism.
Chondrichthyes have 5-7 gill slits, with most having 5 (as you mentioned the great white has).
While great whites are the perfect predator, they are more likely to scavenge for food instead of hunt prey. This is probably due to the sheer amount of energy burned in hunting alone.
Great whites are some of the only sharks to actually breach water for their prey; they have a very distinct attack when feeding technique where they come from directly underneath their prey.
Sorry, just wanted to add a little to your excellent post. :)
A few years back you could actually see (juvinile) Great Whites in the Montery Bay Aquarium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey_Bay_Aquarium. If they do it again you at least don't have to swim with them to get up close. :P
Sadly, Great Whites do not survive in captivity. Scientists and biologists are still trying to work out why these sharks won't eat in captivity! Its interesting though, I hope at some stage they come to a full conclusion as right now its still speculation!
I reckon, I would rock up on the boat getting ready to go into the dive cage then chicken out at the last minute! Specially if "Deep Blue" turned up... No thanks!!
Seeing this article first thing in the morning when i haven't finished my coffee. Have a soft spot for sharks and other misunderstood dangerous creatures. Upvoting now, will come back and read later when actually awake. Trust your content to be quality.
Sharks are really cool, although some of their species are cold blooded killers, the white shark is partially warm blooded but all the same, they are killers.
I only enjoy seeing them in movies will never wish to have encounter but will to swim like them. Nice article
Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge. I was really impressed! will write posts about nature, photography and travels. If you are interested in these topics check my profile 😊!
This is a really well researched piece and thank you. Like many others I do not particularly like this creature, but fortunately I haven't seen one when in the sea. I think I'd swim rather fast! Amazing what they can do, and I hadn't realised they grew quite as big.
Great post. I had the experience of freediving with Sharks on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii with a company called One Ocean Diving. They do a lot of research and shark conservation. We swam with about 40 Galapagos and Sand Bar sharks and for the most part they were very mellow just cruising around. But at one point a huge bait ball of smaller fish swam up from deep and surround us and the sharks got all excited. That's when I lost a leg.... JK but it was pretty intense and just showed even when they are in attack mode they were not interested in attacking humans.

The Great White Shark....

killer like million other animals and humans. that´s life
very useful information about the white shark, thank you!
in photos the shark looks very frightening, and it can be seen that it is set up unkindly

A very knowledgeable post indeed , this post will definitely help in the conservation and shed light to protect these magnificent beasts .

These predators of the underwater kingdom of Neptune admire their beauty and frighten their bloodthirstiness.

The Bay Aquarium kept the great white alive and well for about 200 days before she grew restless so they decided to release her. I think the techniques have already been developed for juvinile great whites but bigger is a problem (here is the source http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/oceans-in-glass-behind-the-scenes-of-the-monterey-bay-aquarium-tracking-the-great-white/640/)
Amazing isnt it? :) Shame they couldn't keep her Perm tagged!

Glad to see you are back. The picture where the shark jumps from the water is really impressive (as well as the jaw)!
An Amazing indeed. Though they look quite scary especially when viewed from the front, those sharp teeth. Nice work. Welcome back.
hope sharks will servive the next 375 million years
...predator at the sea
#scary
#ocean
Thanks SO much for putting this together! I can't wait to read your other animal posts!!!
amazing and interesting
The might look big in pictures, but up close these things are just mind blowing. I would not want to come face to face with one in thee wild!
Sharks are really cool, although some of their species are cold blooded killers, the white shark is partially warm blooded but all the same, they are killers.
I only enjoy seeing them in movies will never wish to have encounter but will to swim like them. Nice article
The picture with it jumping into the air is insane. I'm guilty of being scared of them because of movies like Jaws too...
I feel more intimidated than fear with them! Knowing that a simple “test” bite they do is enough to rip your leg off for example haha :)
Wow, very informative post :) did you know that sperm whales 🐋 have the largest brains in the world? I did an #emojitrivia about it :)
Yes! That’s awesome, they have also been covered under “Amazing Animals” Right here I hope you enjoy it!
Am speechless, this information is very great
Good work on this post but I am so scared of sharks.
Interesting how males live to be nearly twice as old as the females, why is that?

A really interesting and amazing animal, but i would never swim with it together.

I consider the great white shark as the king of the high seas. Beautiful post.
