The Great White Shark

organism has become nature’s most genuine and most successful creature that it has remained unchanged for over 250 million years. Nature finally invented the perfect king of the sea. This animal has given the sea it’s “living” adjective; in turn, it was entitled—

The Great White Shark derived from a series of evolutionary advancements that

took several billion years. It began with the derivation of the vertebrates—the Phylum

Chordata. Here, the Class Agnotha came to existence. Some features of Agnotha are the

presence of a cartilage skeleton, nine gill slits (turning into five gill slits in sharks, where

the first four became the jaw), and fins. Sharks belong to the class Chondrichthyes—a

more elaborated organism. Jaws derived from the first four gill slits, spiral valve, and

productive fins. The fins are amongst the most important advancements made by the

Fixed rigid rods support the fins. The sharks have five different types of fins.

They have paired fins that lift the shark, as it is ab

This is because the northern elephant seal,

the California sea lion, the Steller sea lion, and the harbor seals live on this area. The

eye has a layer of reflecting plates called the tapetum lucidum behind the retina. In most

sharks, especially the great white, the ventral side is white in color and the top and sides

vary in shades of brown and blue. Great

white of course aren’t restricted to the waters of California, they are found all over the

world as long as there is an abundance of its prey. The electrical fields are detected by the Ampullae

of Lorenzini. ” While the

shark is swimming, its body moves side to side, pressing the surrounding water. Thus, predators or prey

cannot tell the difference if the shark is approaching them. This is possible because of fluid filled sacs

on both sides of the fish called lamellae, running the entire length. To circulate blood throughout their bodies, the great white shark must swim

continuously. The ampullae detect the weak electrical fields

at short ranges.

Its powerful jaw envelopes the prey, usually the prey will bleed to death.
