Not only is the great white shark the largest predator fish in the world, it is also one of the only warm blooded sharks. Great white sharks get their name for their white underbellies, they have a light grey torpedo body, can weigh up to five thousand pounds, and grow to a length of 20 or more feet. This fish has adapted some incredible hunting skills such as; 300 serrated triangular teeth in several rows, exceptional sense of smell (can detect one drop of blood in 25 gallons of water), and they also have …show more content…

Although these fish have been portrayed as mindless killing fish, scientists are discovering more and more information to prove this stigma as incorrect. Infact scientists have found that this species of shark is depleting in large numbers, due to overfishing and accidental catching. Great whites are now vulnerable to extinction due to these factors. People and scientists need to unify to help great white sharks strive in the coastal
