Can a great white shark kill an elephant?

Answer 1

There's a difference between being able to, and having the chance to.

Elephants very rarely swim in the ocean, and great whites very rarely swim far upriver.

So while a great white quite probably have the teeth and jaws to take an elephant apart, it's very unlikely that the two animals would ever meet.

Answer 2

Can is one thing, would it ever have a chance to is another.

Since there are sharks that can eat whales, or at least scavenge on dead ones, it would be possible for some sharks to take a bite out of a rhino.

But rhinos aren't known to go into the ocean, and sharks generally don't swim far upstream.

So you'd need some really rare even when a rhino crossing a river is flushed out into sea before these animals would ever have a chance to meet.

Not very likely.

Answer 3

Yes. There are sharks, (such as the bull shark that swims in fresh and salt water), that are capable of attacking and eating elephants. They would probably go after babies, sick, wounded, and aged elephants. I doubt if a shark could kill a full grown healthy bull African elephant in the prime of it's life.

Answer 4

I suppose a shark could eat a giraffe if there was any way in the world they might come in contact with each other. But since Giraffes's live inland and well away from the ocean it is highly unlikely a shark would ever have the opportunity to eat one.

Answer 5

Yes, if they come across a whale carcass, they will have a feeding frenzy.

Answer 6

yes the great white shark can be bigger than an elephant

Answer 7
