How does a shark hunt? A shark genuinely has multiple things that help them hunt. In this paper I will talk about how they sense, stalk, catch prey, who they hunt with, and how they camouflage. Two main sharks that we will be talking about is The Hammerhead and The Great White shark. I have always wanted to learn about the shark and why they are such a fierce animal. For a shark to hunt, it needs to find its prey. Sharks have strong sense that allow them to find the smallest movement which makes
and the only thing you could see was a shark tail. Older Than Dinosaurs? Sharks have lived on the earth longer than you think for example, over three hundred years ago sharks roamed in waters, that is one hundred million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth! Some of the sharks that roamed long ago don’t roam today, on the other hand a handful of the sharks that lived then still live today. Who knows there may be more sharks in the deep of the ocean that we don’t
Did you know that the shark is one of the most feared animals in the world? Great Whites, which can weigh up to 2400 pounds and can be over 20 feet long, are the greatest killers that have ever lived in the ocean. Great White Sharks, along with Bull sharks are responsible for most shark attacks. Sharks are marvelous fish, because of their appearance, behavior, and habitat. Because of their appearance, sharks are one of the most dangerous animals in the ocean yet still beautiful. Their appearance
Topic: Great White Sharks Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about great white sharks. Thesis Statement: I am going to tell you about its habitat, its behavior, and some common misconceptions about them. Introduction: “Out there is a Perfect Engine, an Eating Machine that is a miracle of evolution – it swims and eats and makes little baby sharks, that’s all.” This is a quote from a movie you’ve probably seen called Jaws. This quote explains the beauty of the great white shark. Credibility:
The great white shark is one of the most notorious fish in the oceans for being a ‘human killing machine’. Blockbuster shark attack movies like ‘Jaws’ are not helping their reputation because they make humans terrified of sharks, but the reality is that you have better odds of getting killed by a falling coconut, getting struck by lightning, or getting stung by bumblebee. The fact is we need sharks in our oceans. Great white sharks are being hunted to extinction, which will disrupt the natural
My specie is the Great White or scientifically known as Carcharodon Carcharias. I chose this specie to create awareness for the fisherman that are hunting sharks. The natural habitat of the great white shark is the ocean usually where the water is 24 and 12 degrees (Northeastern of United states, California, northeastern of United states, Coast of Australia, Brazil, Azores, Madagascar, The Caribbean, Eastern África, Northwestern África, the Seychelles, Mauritius, Northern Australia, Sri Lanka, Hawaii
Great White Shark In this informational essay I will talk about the Great White Shark. The Great White Shark is one of many different kinds of sharks that live in the ocean. In one paragraph I will talk about what the shark eats and how the shark hunts for it, In the second paragraph, I will talk about the shark´s body parts and how it helps the shark. Starting off, I shall talk about what the shark eats. The Great White Shark is on top of the food chain, which means that it is a predator. The
marine animal I’m researching is The Great White Shark. They are also known as, White Death and White Pointer. Great White Sharks are located off the coast of California, Australia, South Africa and the northern United States. Other continents and countries call them Tommy Sharks, Blue Pointer, Uptail, Maneater, etc. Great White Sharks are mostly infested in the USA and Australia and have caused 188 deaths in total. Florida and California have suffered more fatal attacks with 831 total and recorded
Great white sharks have long since been feared. One of the deadliest ocean animals, their reputation has long since been tarnished. But as we research these beautiful creatures more and more, our fear of them decreases. Great white sharks, or carcharodon carcharias, are fearsome creatures. They rank number one on the scale of largest predatory fish and can grow to lengths of 23 feet and up to 2,400 pounds. Despite having developed a fearsome reputation, they are less common than other shark species
Great white sharks The great white sharks are mostly found in the coastal surface water of all the major ocean. Why are they endanger Great white sharks are faced with numerous threats causing them to become endangered. Their main threats are humans who fish for their fins, teeth, and the hunting sport.

The Great White Shark The Great White Sharks, known mostly because of their white underbellies, are one of the most powerful aquatic animals in the world. They can swim at about 25 Miles Per Hour (40 Kilometers per hour) because of their strong muscles and forceful tails. In addition to that, male Great Whites can grow around 11.5 to 13.1 feet long, while females can grow from 14.8 to 16.4 feet long. This paper will demonstrate how Great White Sharks are an important part of their ecosystem
more than 465 shark species, and ‘only three are responsible for two-digit numbers of fatal unprovoked attacks on humans, the Great White, Tiger and Bull’ (Defenders of Wildlife, 2018). Most species of shark’s prey on other sharks, large fish, dolphins and seals, and human flesh isn’t one of them. But a theory of sharks is that they go off out of their ‘natural’ prey and chose to prey and attack humans, and some believe they have developed a ‘taste for human flesh’ and these sharks are known as ‘rouge’
Introduction CHOMP! A shark eating its prey. Yummy that blood was tastier than seals. Though it might look deadly but it's not their fault. They do not usual try to eat humans. They do have sharp teeth. They only gobble you up because you look like a seal or a fish. Ready, Set, Bite! Habitat Sharks live in the ocean. The great white shark is found in warm water. Sharks live 20-30 years in the wild. The Goblin Shark lives in very dark
adapts to survive in its ecological nice it usually changes a structural, behavioural or physiological feature. We will be exploring how all animals have different circulatory systems. This report will include the polar bear, grasshopper and great white shark as they each live in different environments meaning they need to adapt in different ways as well as playing a major role in our ecosystem. Mammal: POLAR BEAR Adaptations: Behavioral Physiological Structural The two adaptations I will
Both the humpback whales and the blue whales are extremely vocal mammals, their beautiful and mysterious songs travel great distances across the ocean; the blue whale, both the Humpback and Blue whales are apart of the class of baleen whale; while, the humpback whale population isn’t having trouble maintaining its numbers, the blue whales, whom, had previously been plagued by poachers, causing them long-term damage to their population. Both the Humpback Whales and the Blue Whales produce truly unique

learn and know about sharks. One thing is that sharks sometimes hunt alone or in packs. They just don’t attack their prey and eat it, they stalk the prey first and then wait for the right moment.

Requiem sharks are part of the class Chondrichthyes and the family Carcharhinidae, which has species of sharks that are widely known as being “man-eating”; including such sharks as the Great White Shark, Bull Shark, and Tiger Shark. According to one article “Sharks are top predators in many marine ecosystems and can impact community dynamics, yet many shark populations are undergoing sever declines primarily due to overfishing” (Afonso & Hazin, 2015). Currently, technology is helping us to understand
THE EVOLUTION OF THE CARCHARODON CARCHARIAS (SHARK) for my research task, I chose to study and track the evolution of the shark. These beasts being one of nature’s top predators in the world and dominating the oceans surrounding our continents. I chose these fierce creatures as they were a perfect example for me to use in explaining the evolution and the branching of evolution purely based on the fact that they have been around for millions of years through prehistoric times changing and evolving
