00:00 Great White Shark, the ferocious predator of the ocean.
00:05 Aggressive attitude, extremely muscular body, sharp teeth.
00:12 Great Whites do not chase their prey, they just find and eat it.
00:18 They can reach a length of up to 20 feet.
00:21 The length of a Tesla Model S is 16 feet by the way.
00:24 We're talking about a huge creature here.
00:27 They are known for their highly adaptable body.
00:31 They can keep up with every harsh situation in the oceans.
00:35 Great Whites are found mostly along the coasts of South Africa, Australia, California, and
00:42 the Northeastern United States.
00:45 They make long migrations every year, reaching 2,000 miles.
00:50 This huge muscular body is designed to swim.
00:53 With their perfectly shaped tails, they can swim at speeds over 30 miles per hour.
01:01 Look at this dangerous looking.
01:03 An unlucky place to find itself for any creature.
01:07 A Great White's mouth.
01:09 300 sharp triangular-shaped teeth.
01:12 With its powerful jaw, a Great White Shark can apply a bite force of around 4,000 pounds
01:19 per square inch.
01:21 More than 22 times that of an adult human.
01:26 They feed basically on fish, but seals and sea limes are their favorite meals.
01:32 A Great White Shark can smell one drop of blood in 100 liters of water.
01:38 They can detect other animals from 2 miles away.
01:42 While they are searching for prey, they spot the main target.
01:46 Even with a high burst of speed, the prey goes to the stomach of the Great White.
01:52 Great White Sharks have one more special adaptation.
01:55 They can live in water too cold for other sharks.
01:59 This is called regional endothermia.
02:03 They can store the heat that is generated by their muscles when they are swimming.
02:08 Their circulatory system can move this heat to colder parts of their body.
02:13 This means that Great White Sharks have a warmer body temperature than the water they
02:17 swim in.
02:19 Each year, over 50 Great White Shark attacks are reported throughout the whole world.
02:25 This number is relatively low and only four deaths occur.
02:31 Because there is just one reason.
02:32 They are not trying to eat us.
02:35 Research shows that curious Great White Sharks are just trying to determine if a human is
02:40 something that they can eat or not.
02:42 With a taste bite, of course.
02:44 Even that taste bite can injure an adult human pretty bad.
02:50 That's for sure that we cause more harm to them by killing more than 100 million sharks
02:56 every year.
