Why are great white sharks deadly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are significantly larger than most other kinds of sharks and swim in similar areas as humans. Their common food choice is seal and humans, especially when on surfboards) are similar looking from the mind of a shark. Sharks often do not mean to kill their victims but only intent to see whether they are seal of not through a process called 'test biting'. However, their massive jaws leave bites too large for humans to survive. This is also why humans are not often eaten by sharks and usually bleed out before they can get to a hospital. Hope this helps.

Recent evidence shows that white sharks often will hit a prey item, administer a lethal bite, then wait for the prey to die, to avoid injury from struggling victims. Most humans are pulled from the water rather quickly, so the shark sometimes has no time to consume the victim. Human remains have been found numerous times in white shark stomachs, so the "mistaken identity" theory may be incorrect.

Do blue sharks eat humans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sharks don't eat humans. This is a misconception. The common fear of sharks are a result of false media depictions, which portray the shark was a bloodthirsty, man-eating machine.

Countless people swim in hundreds of oceans around the world each day, even in places where sharks thrive. But fatal shark attacks only occur 5-9 times each year. Soda pop machines kill more people that sharks (13 people annually)!

When a shark attack occurs, it's usually a result of mistaking the victim for a seal, a typical shark meal. It's bewildering how few people are killed by sharks each year, considering how much we look like shark food!

Even though sharks kill 5 people yearly, we kill over 10 million of them in return. We have been on earth for a period of only 100,000-200,000 years. Sharks have shaped the oceans for 450,000,000 years! In the past 100 years, we have wiped out about 90% of the shark population and pushed it's species to severe endangerment, due to over fishing and shark finning. But we have the power to stop it - and if we don't do something soon, it is predicted the shark could go extinct.

How does a great white shark capture its prey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are ambush hunters. They take their prey by surprise from below. They usually hunt early in the morning before the sun rises fully, when the visibility is poor. They usually come up fast from below and attack an unsuspecting prey that is at the water surface. During such attacks, the prey may be thrown off from water, with even the shark making a jump out of the water. Sometimes, when an injured prey starts to escape, they are known to chase and finish the hunt.

What color is the eye of the great white sharks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Under conditions of low light, iris muscles contract to dilate the pupils (those of many deep-sea sharks are permanently dilated, to capture what little light flickers in their realm of perpetual darkness); under high light conditions, the iris muscles relax and the pupil contracts. As unimpressive as this may seem to humans, accustomed to having their pupils dilate and contract continually, realize that no teleost fish can do this - which explains why most bony fishes always seem to be staring blankly into next week. Pupil contraction can also increase a shark's visual depth of field (range of depths that are in focus), in much the same way as we can extend our focal range under harsh light conditions by squinting.

Although many sharks have eyes with slit-like pupils, those of the Great White appear dark as buttons of onyx. Yet if one looks into the eye of a living individual from up close, internal structure can be discerned. The pupil is circular, the iris dark and ringed with a spectral hint of midnight blue. Although the eyes can be rotated within their sockets, when relaxed and not obviously tracking an object, a White Shark's eyes seem to be oriented forward and down. This orientation may explain why these animals often cruise past a caged diver slightly above his or her eye-level: the better to visually inspect the strange, bubbling biped." -Elasmo Research

Have sharks ever been trained?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, sharks are simple creatures that act totally on instinct, and could never be trusted.

Another OpinionI'm not of the opinion that a shark is a simple creature. I would consider an earthworm simple, but the most efficient and deadly predator that has ever lived can hardly be called simple. They have extraordinary senses and an amazingly keen sense of smell. They have a special sense of detecting muscle movement in fish by their sensitivity to electromagnetic waves. Though they may have a small brain, that little brain has to do a lot of complex processing in order to interpret all that sensory information and produce behavior that ends in a successful feeding. They may be simple compared to a rocket scientist, but I challenge any rocket scientist to go underwater and hunt down their dinner with only their senses.

How long can a bull shark grow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Female bull sharks have a longer lifespan of about 16 years, compared to 12 years for males.
There is no accurate data available about how long a Bull Shark can live to. However, they are known to live to ages of around 15 to 20 years. They reach full size and sexual maturity at around the age of 10. Since they are elusive creatures that havent been studied extensively, not much is known about them.

Will bull sharks eat people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sharks of any kind don't hunt people for food, most of the times they are confused and mistake people for something else (if you think about it it's normal cause our place is not in the water). Usually sharks tend to bite a person after which they leave him cause actually we are not that tasty to sharks. But that's no good excuse to swim with the sharks :P

It could be possible if the shark is desperately hungry to try and intentionally attack a human.

Could a bull shark kill a piranha?

Asked by Wiki User

A crocodile will not last long under water since it will have to go to the surface to get some air...

A bull shark doesnt need to go to the surface to get air.

The fight will not take long since the crocodile will most likely try to go to the surface and get some air the crocodile attack would be ferocious but limited the bull shark all it has to do is bite and hold onto the crocodile until it drowns it.
