Yes, they are a fish.
yes
Improved 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.
Do the great white sharks have good eyesight?
Yes great whites have good eyesight. Their colour vision is not that good though!
How long is the average great white shark?
The largest recorded Great White Sharks have approached or exceeded 6.1 meters (20 ft) in length. and an estimated 1,950 kg (4,300 lb) in weight.
There are reports of a 10.9 m (36 ft) great white shark captured in Southern Australian waters in the 1870s, but some question the reliability of the measurement. The 36 footer caught in Australia is now believed to have been a basking shark, which can grow to nearly 40 feet.
Is lightning more dangerous than shark?
Lightining strikes.
Most people think shark fatalities but that is incorrect.
More people are killed each year by lightning strikes than by sharks.
I've had various neighbors houses that have been struck.
What is Great white sharks environment?
The main thing in the enviroment besides preditors like the ORCA whale that affects the Great White Shark is the ocean itself. The ocasional drift of warmer water or even colder water into the shark's domain can cause it to be pushed across the globe. for example. if water from alaska, greenland or even as far north as the north pole were to be forced south into the waters of florida where the great white lives, it may push the shark towards the southern areas like Brazil. The unfortunate thing about this is that the ORCA whale that hunts the great white lives in brazil. This means that the Great White numbers are dwindling thanks to enviromental issues.
Do starfish like living in warm water or cold water better?
They like living in cold water better because it relaxes their body :) How does that help?
What group does a great white belongs to?
A great white shark, at least I think you're referring to a shark, is a fish. It is of the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, Class Chondrichthyes, Genus Species Carcharadon carcharias.
How many great white shark attacks have there been in 2008?
The Great White shark is ranked first with attacks on humans. 31 attacks have come from Great Whites in 2 centuries. Each year, there are roughly over 100 shark attacks that have been reported, worldwide.
Do sharks lay the largest eggs?
Only oviparous sharks lay eggs, as most bony fish do.
Neverthless, the list of oviparous sharks is vast. I will try no mention just a few species:
- Several species of bull sharks, like the horn shark (Heterodontus francisci).
- The crested bullhead shark (Heterodontus galeatus).
- The australian swellshark (Cephaloscyllium laticeps).
- The zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum).
- The swellshark (Cephaloscyllium ventriosum).
- The striped catshark (Poroderma africanum).
(Most catshark species are oviparous.)
- The saddle carpetshark (Cirrhoscyllium japonicum).
(Also most carpetshark species are oviparous.)
However, the majority of sharks species are ovoviviparous.
Is the great white shark the strongest shark living?
it is believed to be either a baby white shark implicated for the ocean attacks and either a mature bull or baby white in the creek attacks.
hope this answered your question about a "strongest" shark
How do you regress into a baby?
um i am not sure if that is even possible lol um but here is a way go back in time smart one
What do great whites like to eat the most?
Adult Great Whites are apex predators. Apart from the Orca (Killer Whale), there are no known predators that may attack or kill a Great White. In regions where both the Orca and the Great whites inhabit and compete for food, Orcas may attack and kill these sharks. Since Orca's are much larger than them, they can attack and even kill great whites.
No.
Well, maybe by accident.
An animal as big as a great white would have to be a filter feeder to be able to eat plankton efficiently. And the great white isn't. It prefers bigger prey.
How fast can a great white shark grow?
They grow up to 18-23 feet long rarely 30 feet worlds biggest Great White Shark 40 feet

How long does a white shark live with it's mom?
Usually a "white shark" will live with it's mom until she stops making him dinner and doing his laundry, however; sometimes he might get a great job and branch out on his own sooner.
What is more dangerous the great white shark or the tiger shark?
All animals can and should be considered to be dangerous. Depending on the situation, either one of these sharks is capable of being more dangerous than the other.
This question DOES call for opinion. They are EQUALLY dangerous. Both are mackeral sharks-lamniforms. They have a metabolic edge on most other sharks & fish in that they're partially warm blooded. I'm not sure about the great white , but a mako needs to eat 5 times more in relation to body mass than a sandbar shark, although I'm not sure where either stands up against other species. It does suggest a mako is more likely to be hungry.
Both great white & mako have large, stabbing & cutting teeth. Mako teeth have a higher aspect ratio, & lack the serrations of the teeth of great whites. Contrary to some claims, mako sharks are not limited to prey they can swallow whole. Their teeth can cut & dismember as well as stab & hold. They are known to have taken swordfish, & there's evidence that they have killed dolphins.
Great whites are more well known for taking mammals-seals & sea lions. There are more documented attacks on humans by great whites. This may be accounted for by the fact that white sharks are more inclined to hang around coastal waters, whereas makoes are more nomadic & prefer the open ocean, sometimes travelling as far as 30 miles per day on average, so they might not encounter humans as often.
In a confrontation b/n the 2, the gw's superior size & more robust & serrated teeth will most likely give him the edge. A mako's speed might keep him out of reach.
Neither are immune to orca(killer whale) predation.
Does a white shark weighs more than a blue whale?
No. The blue whale is the biggest animal on the planet and also the heaviest on the planet to they can measure up to 27 metres and weigh 200 tons. The killer whale is much smaller and lighter weighing at the most 9 tons and measuring a max of 9.7 metres
Killers whales are much stronger and larger overall. They are far more intelligent and can easily defeat sharks if it came down to it. Well, most sharks are more violent than most whales, Its true that killer whales are much stronger than pretty much all sharks.
I went to camp a few years ago where they showed a killer whale destroyin...... they are faster bigger and smarter
