Meet the Great White Shark

The great white shark is a fish. It lives in cool coastal waters in oceans around the world. This place is deep and salty.

The great white shark eats seals, sea lions and fish. It sometimes launches its whole body out of the water when it attacks from below.

The great white shark has rows of sharp, jagged teeth that are replaced when they fall out. These let it grab and tear its prey. It is about 6 meters long.

Baby great white sharks are called pups. Pups are born ready to swim and hunt on their own.
