Great
White Sharks are the world's largest predatory fish, reaching
over 6 metres (20 feet) in length. Armed with a lethal
mouthful of serrated, razor-sharp daggers and powerful enough
to launch their 1-ton bodies clear of the water, they are the
ocean's top predator and are the most feared inhabitant of the
sea.
Their diet
includes other sharks and marine mammals, including dolphins
and Cape Fur Seals. With Shark Alley teeming with tasty marine
life, the Great White, normally a migratory predator, tends to
hang around the alley providing us with an opportunity
to experience this intriguing animal in its natural habitat.
When you see these magnificent creatures of the sea, you
cannot help having a great amount of respect, the Great
White Shark is not the monster it has been made out to be, but
rather a beautiful, powerful and supreme creature of the sea
The Great White Shark has many awesome features, and it is
truly an amazing animal. The scientific name for the Great
White is Carcharodon Carcharias.
The Great White reaches maturity at around 9 years of age. The
average size of The Great White Shark is between 12 to 16 feet
long. The growth rate is about 25-30 cm per year and it can
grow up to 21 feet. The Great White Shark has litters of 7-9
pups. The female may only reproduce twice in her whole life.
