Description: The impressive jaw with its remarkable teeth comes from a six-meter Great White Shark captured near Geyser Rock and Dyer Island at the beginning of the twentieth century. The largest teeth measure 60 mm. African penguins, cormorants, and many other seabirds, along with a large colony of South African fur seals, inhabit this area. The Great White Shark, a top predator, is vital for maintaining the ecological balance of the oceans. Recent studies suggest that Great White Sharks undertake extensive migrations. Despite their resilience, these magnificent creatures are facing a significant threat to their global population.
