The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a large, powerful marine predator found in oceans worldwide. Measuring up to 20 feet in length and weighing over 2 tons, it is the largest predatory fish on Earth. Its torpedo-shaped body and strong tail enable it to swim at speeds of 15 mph. Great Whites are known for their sharp, serrated teeth, which they use to tear apart prey, including seals, sea lions, and fish. They possess a keen sense of smell and electroreception, allowing them to detect prey from miles away. Despite their fearsome reputation, Great White Shark attacks on humans are rare.
