The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the great white, white shark or white pointer, is a species of large mackerel shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. The great white shark is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing to m ( ft) in length and 1, kg (4, lb) in weight at maturity. However, most are smaller; males measure to m ( to ft), and females measure to m ( to ft) on average. According to a study, the lifespan of great white sharks is estimated to be as long as years or more, well above previous estimates, making it one of the longest lived cartilaginous fish currently known. Great white sharks can swim at speeds of over km/h ( mph), and can swim to depths of 1, m (3, ft). The great white shark has no known natural predators other than, on very rare occasions, the killer whale. The great white shark is arguably the world’s largest known extant macropredatory fish, and is one of the primary predators of marine mammals. It is also known to prey upon a variety of other marine animals, including fish and seabirds. It is the only known surviving species of its genus Carcharodon, and is responsible for more recorded human bite incidents than any other shark. The species faces numerous ecological challenges which has resulted in international protection.
