Great whites are the largest predatory fish on Earth. Sharks are known as eating machines.Three species are responsible for most human attacks: great white (Carcharodon carcharias), tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier), and bull (Carcharhinus leucas) sharks.
The largest shark is the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), which can grow to 60 feet long. Great whites are the scariest sharks. These huge fish speed through the water at 30 km per hour. Unlike most fish , the great white shark is warm blooded. This allows its muscles to work well but it also means that it needs to eat lots of meat. They attack and eat almost anything , but love to feed on seals. Sharks do not sleep. Instead, they experience alternating periods of activity and rest.A pup (baby shark) is born ready to take care of itself. The mother shark leaves the pup to fed for itself.
These have hammer -shaped heads to search for food . with an eye on each end of the 'hammer' , they swing their heads from side to side , looking for a meal.
