The Great White
A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias)
swimming in the Pacific Ocean at Guadalupe Island in Mexico. This top predator
can reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) in length. Great white shark attacks on
humans are rare; people, however, are a great white's greatest threat.
"People, on the other hand, capture too many great whites, through
targeted fisheries or accidental catch in other fisheries, and scientists
generally consider great whites to be vulnerable to extinction," said
Oceana, a nonprofit tasked with protecting the oceans.
