The Ferocious Great White Shark

My favorite sea animal is the shark. My favorite type of shark is the great white shark, so I decided to share some exciting facts about this ferocious creature. 

 

The Great White Shark can be found off the coast of North America, south Africa, Australia, New Zealand and, Japan.

 

The great white shark is a carnivore and it eats fish, dolphin, seals, squids and, sea birds. It prefers to eat alone. Sharks have  many rows of teeth so that if they lose a tooth, another tooth in the other row

will replace it. A shark uses 20,000 teeth in a lifetime.

 

 

The great shark's life span is 30 to 50 years, and it  weighs 7,040 pounds. A full grown great white shark is 12 to 20 feet long, and the  female is usually bigger than the male. It gives birth to 1 to 2 or pups. The shark's big black eyes give it superb vision for navigating and hunting. They roll back into their sockets for protection just before an attack.

The great white shark is the most dangerous of all the sharks.  There are about 100 shark attacks  per year and only 10 of them cause human death. More people die from bees than sharks every year.
