However, humans have killed a great number of white sharks to get their teeth and jaws for trading and for safety issues. The great white sharks are usually located in shallow water as deep as 1000 meters. great white sharks are also located to the east and west of the US (Florida ,California ,Texas and etc...). South America, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, the Mediterranean sea, west Africa, Japan and east China have great white sharks too. These predators are cold blooded animals which explains why they are located in the at the shallow part of the ocean where their is hardly sun.
They have been known to feed on fish, dolphins, whales and seals. Sharks prefer meals with a high fat content to give them energy. They are ambush hunters, taking their prey by surprise from underneath. They have been known to come up from the bottom so fast that their entire body has left the water. The Great White has only one natural predator, the orca.
The pots were about 3 feet 6 inches and contained two to three dozen good size crayfish weighing about two several pounds. The men said it was about one hundred and fifteen to three hundred feet long. Another eyewitness saw a great white shark the size of a tractor trailer had attacked a person. Many sharks have been clocked out as fast as 1.5 miles and the mega shark could probably swim in a longer distance since this is a bigger shark. Two percent of the ocean has been overlooked by people ant it leaves ninety-eight percent of the ocean for the megladon can swim.
Although it was a fearful experience was still a positive and a once in a life time experience when saying, “I count as gain”. When the shark is first seen the person is, “on a sea tin-tacked with rain” which sets the scene of how it is blurred therefore possibly making the shark look bigger and more monster-like and giving an unease tone. The shark is described using the metaphor of “roomsized monster with a matchbox brain”, allowing the reader to visualise how large it is and how it is unintelligent and also scientifically basking sharks have small brain. The shark is described as a monster which expresses the poet’s fearful feeling towards the shark because when something is unknown to one, one get scared and therefore refer to it as a monster. Once again the sharks size is emphasized when saying, “He displaced more than water”, giving a profound effect on the reader feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by the size and being displaced with
The people behind us clapped. The old man waved them off and sat back down in the skiff to fan his face again”. The way Sonny explains what is happening seems like he has no clue what was going on and why they are doing the things they do. Another thing that happened in the chapter was Sonny and Keo went to catch a shark to show the director what a real one looks like. The boys set a trap for the shark and waited until the next day to find the buoy twenty feet underwater.
It is the deadliest shark known to man and has been accounted for the most caused deaths. Hammerhead- this shark is easily recognized because of its hammer shape like head. The hammerhead shark has this type of head because they have all of their sensory organs in their head. Reef sharks- this sharks is referred to as the black tip shark because of its black fins. They normally live in the reef eating on small pray such as fish, lobsters, and small mammals.
Dr Carl Meyer from Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology stated that mass levels of shark culling “runs the risk of ecosystem-level cascade effects where a general lack of sharks results in boom or bust in populations of species further down the food chain”. Furthermore when nets are used to trap sharks, often animals such as dolphins, turtles, whales and dugongs become trapped in them. Turtles are one of the most endangered species as a whole and are just innocent bystanders in this war between humans and sharks. We need to be careful of not affecting other animals in this quest to reduce shark numbers in the name of nothing. Sharks can already be caught legally by commercial and recreational fishers so any cull would be largely
The Oceanic White-Tipped Shark is a pelagic shark which means it lives close to the surface and rarely goes to the ocean floor. It is an aggressive slow moving fish that usually will find a carcass of a whale or other large marine animal and dominate the feeding frenzy. It gets its Name white-tipped shark because every fin on the shark has a white tip except the anal fin which has a black tip. They inhabit most of the Salt water of the world because they can live in cold or warm water. Excluding the occasional feeding frenzy, white tips also eat a diet that consists mostly of cephalopods.
He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless. Since the beginning of the story Santiago has been fight with the ocean of not being able to catch a single fish. Due this his determination and the fact that he needs to fish to survive. To Hemingway, the dignity of a man should be so important to that man, that he is willing to die for it. Most likely that is the reason Santiago went deep into sea.
This was a thing the boys did because it cleared out the beach for the real attack. But tension built up at a very high rate, because a lady spotted the shark coming in to the pond where the small boys and the adults where. There was chaos at the beach because everyone’s attention was caught and Brody was at his best to warn his son at the pond about the shark. The havoc continued till one of the adult was killed but fear continued as brodys son was still in danger. This survival was an anti-climax.
