The big white shark (Carcharodon Carcarias), we can find it in the warm and lukewarm water close to all the oceans. This is the unique species that now survives from the gender Carcharodon. Their charasteriscs are their big body, its snout is conical and stout, its mouth is big and circular like an arc, it always is medium open, we can see its teeth.
The most common length is from 4 to 7 metres (the male is smaller than the female).The white shark is a really kill machine, so they can eat all. The orca can be a big threat for the sharks.
The white shark lives on the continental shelf areas, near the coast, where the water is shallower. It is in these areas where the abundance of light and ocean currents generate a higher concentration of animal life, which for this species is equivalent to a greater quantity of food. However, it is absent from the cold Arctic and Antarctic oceans, despite their great abundance in plankton, fish and marine mammals.
