Great White Sharks
The legendary great white shark is far more fearsome in our imaginations than in reality. As scientific research on these elusive predators increases, their image as mindless killing machines is beginning to fade.Of the 100-plus annual shark attacks worldwide, fully one-third to one-half are attributable to great whites. However, most of these are not fatal, and new research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" then releasing their victims rather than preying on humans. It's not a terribly comforting distinction, but it does indicate that humans are not actually on the great white's menu.Great whites are the largest predatory fish on Earth. They grow to an average of 15 feet (4.6 meters) in length, though specimens exceeding 20 feet (6 meters) and weighing up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms) have been recorded.They have slate-gray upper bodies to blend in with the rocky coastal sea floor, but get their name from their universally white underbellies. They are streamlined, torpedo-shaped swimmers with powerful tails that can propel them through the water at speeds of up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) per hour. They can even leave the water completely, breaching like whales when attacking prey from underneath.Highly adapted predators, their mouths are lined with up to 3,000 serrated, triangular teeth arranged in several rows, and they have an exceptional sense of smell to detect prey. They even have organs that can sense the tiny electromagnetic fields generated by animals. Their main prey items include sea lions, seals, small toothed whales, and even sea turtles, and carrion.Found in cool, coastal waters throughout the world, there is no reliable data on the great white's population. However, scientists agree that their number are decreasing precipitously due to overfishing and accidental catching in gill nets, among other factors, and they are listed as an endangered species.

Most people think that Great Whites are mindless killing animals which prey on humans simply because they can.. This view of great whites have to change! These thinkings are born from movies like "JAWS" that totally misintepret the behaviour and characteristics of great whites.. Great whites do not prey on humans.. They simply mistaken humans for seals and most attacks on humans are accidental.. The text above suggests that great whites are just 'sample biting'. Yes it doesnt seem very comforting but let me remind you something.. In schools around the world each year, science students are dissecting frogs and rats for 'learning experience', curiosity and because they can.. Have you ever stop and think about the poor animals that are being dissected, in most cases ALIVE? If we socially accept this then why cant we just accept the fact that great whites can do the same to us?? Not only great whites, but every other living thing in our world? Are we sooo great and important that our priorities and safety must come first before any other?? I think not! Animals are playing their part in the balance of the ecosystem.. So are great whites.. And what are we humans doing?? We pollute the environment, we destroy species and ecosystems, we focus on the petty things in life like fashion and so on.. Then ask yourself this, why do God even put us in this world if thats the only things that we're good at.. Yes we have brains.. But animals have them too.. Yes we can feel emotions but animals can feel them too.. Anyone who is a pet owner will agree with me.. You know when your cat is feeling sick, you know when your dog is feeling depressed, you know when your horse is feeling anxious.. They have emotions and they can feel! Then most people still argue, we are the smartest creatures in our planet.. Well you can just KISS MY ASS if you think so.. Animals have adapted their ways of life to suit the current environment around them.. If that isnt called 'Using their intelligence" then i dont know what is.. Chimps use tools to get their food whenever its out of reach.. Lions create effective systems by hunting in prides and communicating together to trap and kill a targetted prey.. Even great whites which normally hunt from below their prey and then shooting upwards out of the water can change their hunting techniques to capture that evasive prey.. Scientist have proved that theory by attaching a piece of meat onto a line and baiting the great white.. Whenever the great white moves in to eat the meat, the scientist pulls it away.. Then they watch in astonishment when the great white changes tactics and attacks from a different angle, finding the best direction to get its meal.. Amazing smart creatures arent they?? You put a full grown adult man into an arena with a snake and i guarantee you the snake will win.. Pft.. How pathetic are we.. And what about great white sharks attacks on humans?? Let me tell you that only a few will die out of the hundreds attacked.. In fact more people die each year from accidents while fixing your toilet then being killed by a great white shark.. However great whites have been hunted for their meat and also their teeth as trophies by fishermen.. 
Great whites are an endangered species.. Due to the excessive hunting, their numbers have greatly depleted.. I now ask you only to SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE.. Great whites have gotten a reputation they dont deserve.. Watch youtube or any documentaries of great whites and feel the beauty of these creatures.. Do your job as humans! Some experts say that we are put on this world to supervise its growth as a planet and protect the wonders the world offers.. In other words, 'to run this world'.. I strongly agree with them.. But some people are blinded with greed and lust for power that they abuse and misuse the phrase.. ACT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! <3
