GREAT WHITE SHARKS are primarily feared due to their immense size, powerful bite force (approx. 4,000 lbs per square inch), and reputation as apex predators capable of causing fatal, though rare, attacks on humans. Their hunting behavior--often involving high-speed, ambush attacks from below--and their role in popular culture, particularly the movie "Jaws," have cemented their reputation as dangerous, powerful, and mysterious creatures of the deep. While the KILLER WHALES or ORCAS, are large, black-and-white toothed whales and the largest members of the dolphin family, that have distinct social structures and diverse diets, that range from fish to marine mammals.
After a deep dive into shark culture, I am completely and utterly infatuated with Cecil-a great white shark. There is some-fin special about this one.
