The legendary Great White Shark - a fascinating predator in the waters of South Africa (00010440)
(4)
Description: The majestic Great White Shark, also known as Carcharodon carcharias, roams the waters near Geyser Rock and Dyer Island off the coast of South Africa in search of prey. This area is home to numerous African penguins, cormorants, and a large colony of South African fur seals. The Great White Shark, a marine predator of impressive size and strength, poses a constant threat to the seals. With its rapid acceleration from the depths, it is capable of breaching out of the water. Its feared jaws with sharp teeth make it a top predator in the food chain and an important component in the marine ecosystem.
