Whale sharks are not whales thay are sharks and they are cold blooded.
the great white shark The blue whale is a mammal, so it is warmblooded. Some sharks, although technically cold blooded, can control their body temp to a certain degree, and the white shark is one of them.
The shark has gills. It is a cold bloded creature. The shark has scales. These are characteristics of fish.Some sharks are warm blooded.
Great White Sharks are fish. The Great White Shark is a cold-blooded, aquatic animal with a cartiliginous skeleton, so it's considered a fish.
Cold Blooded
Almost ALL of them except at least the White Shark which demonstrates thermo-regulation.
Cold Blooded
All sharks are cold blooded. However, two sharks have very high metabolic rates and typically have a higher body temperature than their surroundings. These are the mako and the great white, so they are sometimes referred to as "warm blooded", but they are still considered cold blooded.
A Tiger Shark is cold blooded
Most sharks are cold-blooded. Some, like the Mako and the Great white shark, are partially warmblooded (they are endotherms). These sharks can raise their temperature about the temperature of the water; they need to have occasional short bursts of speed in huntingCold blooded although if you've ever seen a Great White Shark hunt sea lions you'd be thinking they would have to be hotblooded.Actually the Salmon Shark is a warm blooded shark. It needs to be in order to hunt off the cost of Alaska from May to September during the Pacific Salmons spawning season.
Yes, they are a fish.yesImproved answer: Great White Sharks' body temperatures vary, but the temperature is internally regulated. This makes them very different from typical "cold-blooded" animals like reptiles, amphibians, and most fish that rely solely on their environment and diet to regualte their body temperatures. For example, the temperature around a great white's brian is typically 25 degrees warmer than the surrounding temperatures. The sharks' large size, physical activity, and metabolism allow it to regulate such temperatures.Yes the great white shark is cold blooded. Since it is considered to be a rather large fish and lives in water which tends to vary in temperature it's considered to be cold blooded. Since fish are exothermic, meaning noting or pertaining to a chemical change that is accompanied by a liberation of heat, many species are capable of surviving in large temperature variations (so long as they are not too rapid) a change that quick and drastic would quickly kill most mammals. Therefore although mammals are warm blooded, they are far less tolerant of changes in temperature that deviate too far from whatever their species ideal is.
warm blooded it said on the discovery
Whale sharks are not whales thay are sharks and they are cold blooded.
