Pictures of Great White Sharks - Carcharodon carcharias

The Great White Shark is an efficient predator and because it is at the top of the food chain, its status is an indicator of the sea's health - if great white populations run into problems, it's likely that the marine world they inhabit is threatened, too.

Arguably the most frightening shark to all humans with its numeoruus teeth sharp enough to saw through wood, and its size -- the Great White is between 12-16 feet long, and can grow up to 19-21 feet. But in truth shark attacks are rare and rarely fatal, mostly erroneous because the shark most likely mistook attacked human for their normal prey - a seal or perhaps a turtle. The Great White is linked to bloody murders of humans although the studies have proved that it is not even a man-eater. The truth is that the shark only attacks its prey.
