Great White Sharks
Done by : Emily Stan
Length
• They grow to an average
of 15 feet in length,
though specimens
exceeding 20 feet and
weighing up to 5,000
pounds have been
recorded.
Habitat
• Great white sharks live in
almost all coastal and offshore
waters which
have water temperature
between 12 and 24 °C (54 and
75 °F), with greater
concentrations in the United
States (Northeast and
California), South Africa,
Japan, Oceania, Chile, and the
Mediterranean including Sea of
Marmara and Bosphorus.
Diet
• Always on the lookout for a meal, great white sharks will take a bite
out of just about anything in their environment they perceives as a
potential meal. The first bite assesses the energy value of the prey,
evidenced by a measure -- taste -- of amount of body fat. The shark
will launch an all-out attack on an energy-rich food source, often
swallowing it whole after it bleeds to death. Seals are one of the
shark's favorite foods, but they're not the only item on the great white
shark menu.
Breeding
• Birth has never been observed, but
pregnant females have been
examined. Great white sharks are
ovoviviparous, which means eggs
develop and hatch in the uterus and
continue to develop until birth.
The great white has an 11-month
gestation period. The shark pup's
powerful jaws begin to develop in the
first month.
