248 Words1 Page

My favorite wild animal is a Great White Shark. It is the largest predatory fish. Great White Sharks can grow up to 15 to 20 feet long. The sharks can weigh more than 5,000 pounds. The sharks live along the coasts of Australia, South Africa, California, and the northeastern United States. They are sometimes found in Brazil, the Caribbean, northwestern Africa, Philippines, and Hawaii. Great White Sharks travel in groups. The sharks are carnivores. They eat whales, sea lions, seals, sea turtles, and fish. When a mother has a baby shark it is called a pup. When a pup is born it is four to five feet long. Great White Sharks can live up to 25 years or more. A Great White Shark can sense blood up to three miles. Their swim speed is 15 miles
