No, the largest shark alive today is the whale shark followed by the basking shark. However, the largest shark to ever live was the megalodon which reached lengths of 55-65 feet. They went extinct 1.5 million years ago.

Yes, it is. _____________________________________________________________________ In contrast to the above answer the great white is not the largest shark. The largest shark is in fact the whale shark which has been known to grow to over 40 feet, twice the maximum length of the great white shark. The great white shark weighs up to a maximum of 2250 kgs (5000 lbs)ie. 2.25 tonnes whereas the whale shark can weigh up to 13.6 tonnes.

Absolutely not. The sharks teeth are stained with tartar and plaque just like ours. They can have cavities also. They eat fish which can cause blood marks on them. It is rare to find a shark with perfectly white teeth.

No, they are shaded from dark grey on the back and upper sides and white on the lower sides and bottom. This camouflages them very well from their prey from above and below.

What is the world's biggest shark ever?

The below is incorrect, even if you take megalodon out of the picture, the basking shark and whale shark are larger than the great white. However, if you believe the 7 inch shark teeth as evidence, then the megalodon was the largest shark. But it went extinct about 1.5 million years ago. The Great White Shark. People think it is a Megalodon, but that is incorrect. There is no proof that a Megalodon is real, so for now it is the Great White.
