the world's oceans are many species of predatory fish.One of the worst is widely regarded as the great white shark.
In fact, it is only a white bottom and the top and sides of her beautiful streamlined body is dark gray or bluish color, so it is hardly noticeable from below, on a background of bright sky, and it is difficult to distinguish from the top against the dark water.
word "large" is also referred to in the title is not in vain.The length of the fishes is six meters, and there is evidence, though unproven, that some specimens in South Australian waters, and there are even more.At least documented catch Vic Hislop in 1985 fish, the size of which was 6 meters 65 centimeters.This is the most great white shark in the world today.
main distinguishing features of this species are considered to be very straight teeth triangular black patch on the chest (though it may not be) and a tail resembling a crescent moon.
great white shark eats everything she turned up, mostly large fish and marine mammals, does not shrink, and sea turtles, birds, sitting down on the water, and generally everything that moves.Her unpredictable behavior, she could wind energetic movements of a potential victim and leave the area of the hunt, and sometimes shows rare courage by attacking clearly stronger and large marine animal.In one case, in the stomach of the predator found three pigs as she ate them, is unknown, but the great white shark often swims in shallow water.However, the depth range has a very wide and it can dive to a depth of more than a kilometer, still preferring the coastal shelf where the food is always higher than in the open ocean.
irresistible attacks caused huge jaws, high speed and quiet operation this ruthless predator.It should be noted that you can even get hurt on the rough skin of the fish, and the blood immediately captured her olfactory receptors and serves as a signal to attack.In motion she spends all her life, sharks have no air bubble, so at the correct depth to them, they are due to hydrodynamic forces fins.As soon as the big fish stop, she, being heavier than water, will sink immediately, so that it should always have to respect the body's energy balance.
Being viviparous fish, great white shark reaches maturity at the age of ten - twelve years, and his life gives up to six litters, each of which is up to 14 young shark.
The relationship of this predator with the man challenging.Of course, when dealing with swimmer or diver in the open sea great white shark sees it as an opportunity to diversify the diet, but the people in relation to the fish show no less cruelty.Shark liver is considered a delicacy, as part of their fins, and sometimes these inhabitants of the sea depths are killed simply because of hunting interest.At the same time, like any predator, this fish is an orderly sea, eating carrion or diseased animals.
As you can see in the photo the white shark, the beauty of her perfect body in the hydrodynamic relation combined with a terrible mouth and completely dead eyes that Hemingway in his novel "The Old Man and the Sea" compared with a look of death.
