C. longimanus feeds mainly on pelagic cephalopods and bony fish.[7] However, its diet can be far more varied and less selective-it is known to eat threadfins, stingrays, sea turtles, birds, gastropods, crustaceans, and mammalian carrion. The bony fish it feeds on include lancetfish, oarfish, barracuda, jacks, dolphinfish, marlin, tuna, and mackerel. Its feeding methods include biting into groups of fish and swimming through schools of tuna with an open mouth. When feeding with other species, it becomes aggressive.[6] Peter Benchley, author of Jaws, observed this shark swimming among pilot whales and eating their feces.[10]

Reason it is called a white pointer?
When I was living in Western Australia in the 1980's, A White Pointer was attacking people up around Karatha and Port Hedland area. It was noted that it had a white Patch on the tip of it's dorsal fin, Hence it was known to be a White Pointer Shark of Massive proportions. It was also said they had been sighted to have been as long as 32foot but that may have been an exaggeration, I personally do not know. Anyway that is my story.
