■About great white sharks
Great white sharks are the world's largest predatory fish that can eat marine mammals weighing hundreds of pounds (1 pound = about 0.45 kg) and are known to be aggressive. They have a very muscular body and can capture creatures that swim quickly in the ocean. Its huge white body, which can reach a length of up to 6 m and a weight of several tons, is perfectly adapted to life as a predator.
Great white sharks are known to be very migratory, with individuals migrating for long periods of time each year. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, large white figures can be found that regularly migrate between Mexico and Hawaii, but in other ocean basins (large depressions on the ocean floor) they may be traveling longer distances.
