Cartilaginous fishes provide a notable example of successful evolutionary perseverance with a fossil record extending to at least the Lower Devonian over 400 million years ago (8). Carcharodon carcharias, also known as White Pointer, White Death, or more commonly, White Shark, is one of the greatest predators in the world among marine life. They are usually found in tropical areas but research has been conducted on these sharks from the Northwest Atlantic to Southern Africa to North East near the Hudson canyon. The average size of a White Shark is 6.4 meters and they weigh on average, 2268 kg. Temperature greatly affects white sharks metabolism, hunting fields, living distribution and mating habits. Unlike some marine life, white sharks are warm blooded (endotherms) and can regulate their body temperature.…

The main purpose of the lungs is to carry out the exchange of gases.…
