The Wildlife | Great White Shark | 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. When a great white shark is born, along with up to a dozen siblings, it immediately swims away from its mother. Baby sharks are on their own right from the start, and their mother may see them only as prey. At birth the baby shark is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long already; as it grows it may reach a length three times that.
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.
