Hi my name is David and I am going to talk about great white sharks.
Have you ever thought about what is under the ocean? I am going to tell you about the biggest shark the great white. I am going to tell you about what they eat, habitat, size, attacks, colour, their eyes and more.
What do they eat?
Young great white shark eat fish and stingrays and even small sharks. Adults eat seals, small toothed whales, otters, sea turtles and dead animals. Great white sharks do not chew their food. Some people think they are just aggressive but they rarely attack people. They do attack because they think you're a seal. Here is a picture. There is a picture of a megalodon. A megalodon is 3 or more times bigger than a great white shark.
Size and speed
The two largest great white sharks ever found were 36 and 37 feet long but the normal size is about 15 to 20 feet long to 6.1 meters or more and can weigh more than 5,000 lbs or 2,268 kilograms. Great white sharks can go to a speed of 15 miles per hour. That is 40 km per hour. The fastest shark in the world can go to top speeds of 45 to over 60 miles per hour, it is the mako shark. This is not a shark you would want to challenge to a race!

Their colour
The name Great White Shark is because it has a white belly and the top is dark grey or a very light black. Their grey top makes them camouflage in the dark water from orcas because they kill them. video about a orca attacking a great white shark
Their eyes
To protect their eyes from thrashing prey some sharks like the tiger shark cover their eyes. It was once thought that sharks had poor eyesight but now they studied and know that sharks have very good eyesight.
Pups and eggs
Baby sharks are called pups. Some kinds of pups hatch from eggs. Others are born. Mother sharks do not care for their pups. The pup must learn to eat and stay safe by themself.
Age
Great white sharks live a long life, they usually live to 70 years that is a long time. Some sharks can live over 70. The oldest great white shark is 83 years old.
Their nose
They can smell a single drop of blood in a billion drops of water. The shark's nose is definitely one of its most impressive features. As the shark moves, water flows through two forward facing nostrils, along the sides of the snout.
Overall I think great white sharks are not their to hurt you. They think you are something to eat. I have told you how they think that you are a seal or stingray. Sharks have great eyesight, noses and and are very fast swimmers. I have looked through lots of books to epic and websites. I have learned something and I hoped you liked this information report have a good day.
