	GREAT WHITE SHARK - Enchanted Learning Software
		Great white sharks are found near shore along most of the temperate (not very hot and not very cold) coastlines around the world.
		Great white sharks reproduce via aplacental viviparity; they give birth to 2-14 fully-formed pups that are up to 5 feet (1.5 m) long.
		Great whites are decreasing in numbers and are rare due to years of being hunted by man. They are a protected species along the coasts of California, USA, Australia, and South Africa.

	Great White Shark
		The great white shark has long had a reputation as a fiersome 'man-eater' and is probably the most feared of all animals that live in the oceans.
		The great white shark is constantly on the move, swimming slowly and continously, beating its tail from side to side.
		In temperate seas the great white seems to migrate either northwards or southwards, depending on the hemisphere, as the sea warms in the summer, In winter, when the water is cooler, the shark migrates back again.

	Great white shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Great white sharks live in almost all the cold or temperate waters of the planet, with greater concentrations in the southern coasts of Australia, in South Africa, California, Mexico's Isla Guadalupe and to a degree in the Central Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea.
		Great white sharks are known to perform test-biting with buoys, flotsam, and other unfamiliar objects as well, and might grab a human or a surfboard with their mouth (their only tactile organ) in order to determine what kind of object it might be.
		Great whites are ovoviviparous, the eggs developing in the female's uterus, hatching there and continuing to develop until they are born, at which point they are perfectly capable predators.

		The white shark is found in temperate waters throughout the world's oceans, and it is an important, though not common, predator in California's coastal habitats.
		White sharks are predatory animals that begin life by feeding on fish, rays, and other sharks, and as they grow, switch to feeding on marine mammals and scavenging on large animal carcasses.
		White sharks are important predators in the marine ecosystems of the California coast, and the people of California recognize that.

		White sharks are scarce at the islands between January and September, but precisely where those seen in Autumn move away to through the remainder of the year is presently unknown.
		Many white sharks, both adult and immature, have slash and puncture wounds of superficial nature to the head and dorsum, which are inflicted by the teeth of rivals during brief bouts of intraspecific aggression and competition, especially near food resources but very likely also through courtship or other social interactions.
		White sharks attracted in baited situations exhibit curious behaviours, such as inverted surface-swimming with the mouth agape and gape-displays on the approach to shark cages, divers and so-on, at least some of it being thwart-induced (see Strong, 1996) or displacement behaviour, in a generic sense, as well as int.

		White sharks are ovoviviparous, which means that the eggs hatch and the babies develop inside the female's body but there is no placenta to nourish the pups.
		White sharks begin life by feeding on fish, rays, and other sharks, and as they grow, then switch to feeding on marine mammals and scavenging on large animal carcasses.
		Great whites usually kill and eat sick and weak animals so in their attempt to eat and stay alive they are helping the natural chain of other animals to become stronger.

	EnviroFacts: Great White Shark
		The great white is chiefly a continental, near-shore fish of the world’s temperate seas.
		Scientists note that the known distribution of small great whites (two years old or less) and growth estimates suggest the young may be geographically restricted to areas of narrow temperature fluctuations until the supposed water temperature tolerance develops.
		Even if great whites are simply part of the natural world and are not malicious, precautions need to be taken while in their world, just as wildlife tourists in our game parks take precautions against attack by predators such as lions.

		Much contemporary scientific study focuses on the shark -- pinniped relationship, however the importance of this interaction may be overstated simply because the study of white sharks near land-based pinniped rookeries is considerably easier than the study of other white shark predation modes.
		This shark bears a large scar just behind its right pectoral fin, which could be the result of entanglement in fishing gear or may be been acquired during a courtship or territorial dispute with another shark.

	Brief Overview of the Great White Shark
		The Great White Shark is one of the sea's paramount predators and a creature of deep fascination to many people.
		The Great White is among the most widely distributed of sharks, owing - in part - to its ability to maintain its body temperature up to 27°F (15°C) warmer than the surrounding seawater.
		Typically, a Great White stalks such prey from near the rocky bottom - where, from above, its fl back is almost invisible against the dark substrate - and attacks in a sudden vertical rush, often leaping from the water in a spectacular explosion of spray and blood.
