The Jaw breaking Great White Shark
This information about the great white is very interesting
Introduction
Appealing Appearance
There are many ways in which great whites will look when they’re fully grown. When great white sharks are all grown, they are heavier than a grand piano. Grand pianos weigh 500 pounds but great whites weigh a whopping 5,000 pounds. Actually, you will never believe that these heavy living things are shorter than a schoolbus by more than 17 feet! I know this because all long busses are 37 feet long and the average great white is 20 feet long or less. Baby great whites are called pups. Pups are fairly large when they are born. They are 5 feet long! Experts agree that although the swim pretty fast, at 40 miles per hour, most of that momentum comes from their powerful tails. Their tails help them catch prey at a very fast speed so that whatever they are eating or test biting, doesn’t get away. Three special features that this amazing animal has is that it has three fins instead of two. It has a pectoral fin, a dorsal fin and a caudal fin. Another feature i that they can roll their eyes back into their head. An interesting feature that they can have is that they have powerful jaws filled with teeth that are up to 2 ½ inches long. Those teeth don’t stay that long though. Whenever they eat their prey, their teeth usually fall out into their prey. Interestingly enough, their skin is so rough that it is used for sandpaper! These humongous animals have a white underbelly but are darker on top. Camouflaging is one of their many great abilities that these creatures tend to do to get away from their prey. They also have white and blue pointers. Their range of colors can go from light pale to dark gray. Great whites have many interesting looks when they grow older.
Hearty habitat
The great white shark is found around a lot of the world. They are found in all tropical waters and all cold waters. Sharks are warm-blooded like many other fish, so that means that it can regulate its own body temperature. Generally, they live in cool waters close to the coast. Areas of the water that are between 54 and 75 degrees fahrenheit are places that typically they will lye. Did you know, these fast moving creatures can live in Japan, Australia, South Africa, both coasts of the United States of America, California, Azores, Brazil, the Caribbean, Northwest Africa, Eastern Africa, the Seychelles,Madagascar, Mexico, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia, the Philippines and Hawaii? Although they live in all of these places, there are usually just a couple in the colder places because they prefer warm, salty, temperate coastal seas. “The great white can not only swim above water, but also more than 820 feet (250m) (273.33yds) deep”, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Amazingly enough, some great whites have been tracked swimming all around the world! Because they still need to eat, they live in the upper part of the ocean, towards the surface, and close to the shore , where sunlight and pray are available. Around a lot of the world, the great white shark may have been laying.
Disgusting Diet
Great white sharks have to have a large diet to survive. Did you know that sharks are carnivores? That simply means that they eat other animals, such as big fish . They obviously have to eat to live, but they also eat to get protein. Younger, smaller, great whites eat small fish like tuna. Although, big, bad great whites like to snatch and tear apart sea lions and seals. It has even been known to eat dolphins, whales, and seabirds. Their diet also consists of small-toothed whales and carrion. Also, they eat seals, fish and dolphins. Sadly enough, one reason they are becoming extinct is because other big animals eat them and because their moms leave them from the day of birth, they don’t recognise their young and eat them. They also eat rays which are broad, flat marine or freshwater fish with a cartilaginous skeleton, winglike pectoral fins, and a long slender tail. Many rays have venomous spines or electric organs but great white sharks don’t know or care. This is why great white sharks have a great big diet!

Closing
Although they are the largest predators in the ocean, they can still be eaten by other animals. Because great white sharks have an amazing body structure and their appearance is gorgeous, they live around most of the world, and have a massive diet, they are very unique. It’s hard to believe, but you may find them with their eyes rolled back into their head to protect their eyes. Their habitat is decreasing, so that means that they are dying way too quickly because of hunting and other animals eating them. Sharks’ diets are very important because without getting the necessary nutrients and fat, they will not be able to survive. Without a doubt, all sharks have a very interesting lifestyle.
