	Oceanic whitetip shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oceanic whitetip shark, Carcharhinus longimanus, is a large pelagic shark of tropical and warm temperate seas.
		The oceanic whitetip is usually solitary and slow-moving, and tends to cruise near the top of the water column, covering vast stretches of empty water scanning for possible food sources.
		Despite the greater notoriety of the great white shark and other sharks habitually found nearer the shore, the oceanic whitetip is considered responsible for more fatal attacks on humans than all other species combined, as a result of predation on those shipwrecked or from aircraft downed in the open ocean.

		While the great white is the shark that most people immediately think of when shark attacks are mentioned, the bull shark may be responsible for the most attacks on humans.
		A 2,25 m (7 1/2") great white was captured in the ensuing shark hunt and the stomach contained flesh and bones which were reported to be human, but a positive identification of this was never made.
		In addition to the great white shark and bull shark, the only other sharks proven to have killed humans are the oceanic white tipped shark and the tiger shark, implicated in attacks most often in the tropical Pacific, including Hawaii.

	Oceanic whitetip shark - Carcharhinus longimanus: More Information - ARKive
		The oceanic whitetip shark is so named because the tips of its pectoral, first dorsal, pelvic, and caudal fins are often white or show white mottling (2) (3) (4).
		This shark is an oceanic, epipelagic species found mainly in offshore, tropical and warm-temperate waters (6), although on occasion in shallower waters near land, usually near oceanic islands (3).
		The diet of the oceanic whitetip shark primarily consists of bony fishes such as tuna and mackerel, but also includes stingrays, sea turtles, sea birds, squid, crustaceans, mammalian carrion (dead whales and dolphins), and occasionally even rubbish that is disposed in the sea (3).

	Diamond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This strong ability to split white light into its component colors is an important aspect of diamond's attraction as a gemstone, giving it impressive prismatic action that results in so-called fire in a well-cut stone.
		The dispersion of white light into a rainbow of colors, known in the trade as fire, is the other primary characteristic of gem diamonds, and has been highly prized throughout history.
		The GIA has developed a rating system for color in white diamonds, from "D" to "Z" (with D being "colorless" and Z having a bright yellow coloration), which has been widely adopted in the industry and is universally recognized, superseding several older systems once used in different countries.

		Carcharhinus longimanus, as the men in white coats call it, is reputed to have chomped through hundreds of airmen and sailors lost at sea during World War Two, and countless fishermen who parted company with their vessels over centuries.
		Oceanics like their water warm and are found most often in the Red Sea from September to November.
		Soon there were eight oceanics passing in and out of the shoal of fusiliers, white fin-tips flashing as they caught the light.

		Sometimes, the white tips (which are sometimes also apparent on their caudal, second dorsal, pelvic and anal fins) are accompanied by fl markings.
		In younger specimens, the pelvic and pectoral fins are often tipped with fl, and these juveniles often have saddle-shaped markings between the first and second dorsal fins (Ellis, 1994).

		The largest great white tooth found was 6cm long and that sharks was estimted to be 6 metres long.
		The length of the teeth from the base of the enamel to the tip of the tooth is around 100mm (the largest great white shark teeth are about 60mm high).
		Scientific extrapolations using statistical relationships between tooth enamel height and jaw dimensions to body length and mass, of known great white sharks estimate that a megatooth shark with an enamel length of 168mm would be 16m (52ft.) long and weigh about 48,000kg (105,000 lbs.).

	Study Says Sharks Have Much To Fear From Humans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The study also says less than 1 percent of the population remains of one key kind of shark: the oceanic white tip.
		Renowned biologist Ransom Myers, who co-authored the study, said research from the Gulf of Mexico shows the population of the oceanic white tipped shark has declined by more than 99 percent over the last 50 years and that there are now just seven white tips for every 1,000 that once existed.
		Myers believes the main cause of the sharks' decline is over-fishing, especially sharks caught up in long line fishing, even though they're not the intended catch.

		Almost three days after the ageing vessel sank, close to 1 000 of the 1 415 people on board are missing or dead and less than 100 bodies had been recovered by medical teams on the Egyptian shores.

		Made up of about 285 similar species of bird, the Pigeon family is widely dispersed, being absent only from the Arctic, Antarctic and some Oceanic Islands.

		The White-tipped Dove is grey-brown above, white below and has a white band at the tip of the tail.
