Great White Shark Anatomy

The great white shark boasts of being the apex predator in the marine biome - with its amazing ability to take on anything and everything that comes its way. Killer whale is believed to be the only marine animal that preys on the great white shark, but such instances only qualify for rare occurrences - most often driven by shortage of food. In a single bite, the great white can rip right through its prey, and take in as much as 30 lbs of flesh. A single bite of this species is enough to cut a seal into two halves. Along with their sharp teeth and strong jaw muscles, the agility of this species and their ability to sense movements also come into play in course of hunting. Studies have revealed that it is the anatomy of the great white which makes it so agile, strong and ferocious, and that's what we will stress on from here.
