The great white shark is the world's largest predatory fish, growing up to 6.4 meters long and weighing over 3,000 kilograms. They have over 300 triangular teeth arranged in rows that are continuously replaced, and they prey on fish, seals, and sea lions. Great white sharks are apex predators with orcas as their only natural enemy, though orcas have learned to paralyze and drown them. They pose the greatest threat to humans of any shark with numerous unprovoked fatal attacks.

2. • The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is
a species of shark. They are world's largest
living predatory fish. Mature sharks may grow up to
6.4 m in length. There also have been a few reports of
great white sharks measuring over 8 m, and 3,324 kg in
weight). This shark reaches its sexual maturity around 15
years of age. The lifespan of great white shark may be as
long as 70 years or more. Great white sharks can
accelerate to speeds over 56 km/h.

3. • Great white sharks have about 300 teeth,
arranged in many rows. The first two rows of
the teeth are used for grabbing and cutting the
animals they eat, while the other teeth in the
last rows replace the front teeth when they are
broken, worn down, or when they fall out. The
teeth have the shape of a triangle with jags on
the edges. Great white sharks eat fish and
other animals, for example seals and sea lions.

4. • The great white shark has no natural predators
other than the Orca. This makes them apex
predators. Some orcas have discovered they
can paralyse the shark by flipping it upside-down.
Then they hold the shark still with their mouth,
and that suffocates it (sharks get oxygen by
moving through the water).
• Of all shark species, the great white shark has the
largest number of fatal unprovoked attacks on
humans.
