General Biology of The Great White Shark

Great white sharks are cosmopolitan, inshore predators with abundant global sites (southern Africa, Australia, California, New Zealand, Mediterranean, Caribbean) and nonresident movement between sites.

Explore size and sex ratios of great white sharks along the southern Africa coastline, noting a size range, increases in average size southward, and a female-dominated population with decline concerns.

Explore the great white shark population dynamics, revealing low fecundity, a wide non-territorial range, and how public pressure and government action secured protection in 1991.

Showcases the great white shark's inshore predation, vast range across oceans, deep dives to over a thousand meters, and the role of tagging and satellite data in tracking migrations.

Great white sharks do not generally feed on birds; they may grab a bird and spit it out, and prefer fresh prey such as tuna or seals.

Explain why great white sharks breach from below to seize seals and sometimes throw prey back into the water, and describe rare beaching events where sharks come ashore near seals.

Explore how great white sharks may attack prey larger than themselves, including kayaks, and how the peduncle area and blood vessels influence such predatory behavior.
