Reproduction • Female great white sharks give birth to between two and ten pups at a time • The pups grow on their own
Habitat • Great white sharks live in oceans. • Found mostly in cold water. • Swim along shore to find food • Live in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean • Live near the beach which is why they get surfers
Food • Great white sharks eat seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales • Carnivores - that means that they only eat meat • Their predator is a killer whale

PhysicalAdaptations • A great white shark has white under sides so they can blend in with the sand • They have gray backs so the fish think its sun light and they swim right through • Uses it’s tale to swim in the water • Have gills to help them survive • Really good noses so they can smell blood from more then a mile away
Physiological adaptations • A great white has bones to help it move and so his body doesn’t fall apart • Great whites tail is made out of cartilage like a human ear • His tale doesn’t have any bones • are cold blooded so they can survive in cold water
Behavioral Adaptations • Can jump out of the water more then seven feet high that helps them survive because if they didn’t jump out of the water they wouldn’t have as much food as they’re suppose to have • They surprise attack prey so the fish don’t swim away as soon as they see it
