great whites
Feared ocean hunters
Great whites are large predatory sharks, properly called great white sharks, found in coastal waters worldwide.
They are apex predators known for their size—up to twenty feet—and their role in the popular imagination as dangerous to humans: Great whites patrol these waters.
The name comes from their white underbellies.
