Description
The Great White Shark is an apex predator renowned for its immense size and powerful hunting capabilities. They inhabit temperate and tropical waters globally, preying on marine mammals, fish, and other sharks. Due to their size and predatory nature, they are not suitable for private aquariums and require highly specialized, multi-million gallon public exhibits.
