Great White Shark

Did You Know?

A fun fact about great white sharks is that they are partially warm-blooded, allowing them to maintain a body temperature warmer than the surrounding water, which helps them hunt faster in colder seas, and they possess a "sixth sense" (electroreception) to detect the electrical fields of prey, even those hiding in sand. They also have rows of serrated, triangular teeth that can reach nearly 7 inches, and their skin is covered in tiny scales that reduce drag for speed.
