Great White Sharks are key to the health of our oceans. Here's why they're so important.
Sharks help to increase the species diversity of our oceans by driving competition and controlling population sizes in the ocean ecosystem. Great whites are notoriously well-adapted to the life of a predator, with 300 teeth and a heavy, torpedo-shaped body. Their streamlined morphology allows them to cruise very efficiently for long periods of time, useful for traversing the expanse of the open ocean while using less energy. It also allows them to switch to high speed bursts when in pursuit of prey, often breaching out of the surface of the water entirely or swimming at speeds of 15 miles per hour.
