Great White Shark Back to Animals Great white sharks are the largest and most fierce predators in the ocean. They are giant fish that can grow to 18 feet long and 4000 pounds. Full grown, Great White Sharks are at the top of the ocean's food chain. The only animals that will attack a Great White shark are Orca Whales and other Great White Sharks. A baby great white shark is called a pup. Pups are fairly large, 5 feet long, when they are born. The mothers don't take care of the pups when they are born and sometimes try to eat them. Small great white sharks eat other fish. Large great white sharks like to prey on sea lions and seals. Sharks don't chew their food, but will tear off big chunks of meat and swallow them whole. One reason sharks, including Great Whites, are such good hunters is because they have excellent senses including smell, hearing, and sight. They also have a sensitive electro-receptive sense called the Ampullae of Lorenzini. Great White's also have powerful jaws filled with lots of long teeth up to 2 ½ inches long. Great White Sharks have three major fins: - Dorsal fin - the one on top that can stick out of the water like in the movie Jaws. - Pectoral fins - there are two of these, one on each side of the shark - Caudal fin - the fin on the tail of the shark For more about Great White Sharks: Great White Sharks - Encyclopedia Junior - All sorts of info on Great White Sharks for kids.
