Description
The Great White Shark is an apex predator known for its immense size and powerful hunting capabilities. Found in coastal and offshore waters worldwide, it preys on marine mammals, fish, and seabirds. Due to its size, dietary needs, and migratory nature, it is not suitable for home aquariums and is extremely challenging even for the largest public aquariums.
