On the hunt with great white sharks
Description
Using powerful, side-to-side sweeps of its tail fin, a great white shark surges through the water to find prey. Its acute senses—including sight, smell, and an electrosensory network—help it locate prey in oceans around the world. And once it finds something to eat, the great white shark attacks with up to seventy razor-sharp teeth. Incredible photos bring hunting with this top predator to life!
