great white sharks

the great white shark is there an animal more feared? with its unparalleled sences it can smell a single drop of blood for over a mile away and can swim up to 40 mph it can even breach out of the water to attack its prey. but are they really the killing machines horror movies like jaws and open water make them out to be? i personally dont think so and neither do most experts its true that great whites are reasponsible for most shark attacks in callifornia but these are very few and are mostly not fatal. sharks are curiose creatures and mostly bite humans out of curiousity or mistaken identity and sharks have no other way to investigate besides there massive jaws. though contrary to popular belife a sharks bite pressure is about the same as a humans (250 pounds) but its their razor sharp teeth that make the bite so deadly.
great white sharks have had a tough time since birth becasue as soon as they are born they are on their own and fighting for their lives from bigger prdators including their own mother, other sharks, rays, large fish, and even humans. a great white sharks diet gererally consists of fish such as tuna but what a shark is always looking for is a seal or sea lion and if they manage to get one they dont have to have another large meal for another 1-2 months.
