Who are some predators of the great white shark?
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.
Are great white sharks bigger than basking sharks?
Basking sharks are meat eaters they love to eat little children from ages 1-18 and swim around slowly with their mouths wide open. They are larger than the great white and are of a gray colour.
The great white eats things like seals and have a mouth full of impressive teeth the jaws of which they can telescope outwards. They are a very active swimmer and are paler in colour.
Addendum: All the above is correct except the part about basking sharks being meat eaters. They are plankton eaters.
Are there sharks in the Black Sea?
The Black Sea is not as hospitable to sharks as open ocean waters would be because it has lower salt levels and the waters get much colder during the winter. However, there have been transient sightings of hammerhead sharks, benthic sharks and cat sharks in the Black Sea.
What are the physical characteristics of a dogfish shark?
Most Dogfish Are Charactisted As Small, Brown, Unintelligent, Slow And Wandering Fish That Like To Mainly Eat Crabs, Lobsters, Fish, Squid, Octopuses And Smaller Sharks. They Might Also Bite Chunks Out Of Large Whales. Dogfish Sharks Are Quite Gentle To Humans When Meeting Them. They Are Also Quite Shy. They Mainly Live In Deep, Dark Waters That They Probably Use To Escape From Predators Such As Orcas, Great White Sharks And Bottlenose Dolphins. They Also Probably Live In Deep, Dark Waters So That They Can Match The Darkness Of The Waters To Catch Prey. They Also Encounter Another Predator. The Giant Pacific Octopus. Which Can Grab The Dogfish With It's Tentacles. The Spiny Dogfish Are The Most Commonly Known.
Who would win in a fight a bull shark or a crocodile?
It depends if lion is far away or not. If it is at a distance where it can sneak up on the bull from behind it has some sort of an advantage over a bull, but if the bull were face a lion in close combat the lion would indeed loose, resulting the bull as the winner.
The reason this is probable because, in the wild, a lone lion may try to hunt a Cape Buffalo bull, but since such an animal is built with a lot of power, sharp hooves and horns, and a very aggressive nature, such a beast is very intimidating for a lone hungry lion: even a pride of lions! This would be the same case with a domestic bovine such as a bull, especially one that has horns and a nasty temperament like that of a Spanish Fighting bull. Lions would much rather go after prey that runs away from them, not turn and fight them.

How much does the tooth of a megalodon shark weigh?
The Megalodon weights about 50-60 tons. That would be the average weight of the Megalodon. But the biggest was 103 tons! WOW ! That's big!
By: Dawnydawn664 and ware
The maximum weight C. megalodon could reach is, to be quite honest, unknown to science. It depends on the lenght of each specimen.
For example, an average sized megalodon (between 16 to 17 metres long) would have an weight of 48,000 to 60,000 kg.
Larger specimens with a lenght of 20.3 metres would have weighted 103,000 kg, according to Michael Gottfried et al.
The problem is that Gottfried used, in 2008, as a basis for estimate of max. lenght and weight of C. megalodon a set of fossilized remains that included teeth with a max. height of 184.81 mm.
In 2010, Vito Bertucci, a fossil collector, presented to the scientific community a fossilized megalodon tooth with a height of 193.67mm.
And it is a mathematical certitude that this larger tooth did NOT belonged to the largest megalodon in the world's oceans!
So, marine biologists Patrick J. Schembri et al. could have been more accurate with their avaliation of megalodon's maximum total lenght of 24 to 25 metres (79 to 82 ft).
Under this last estimative, the maximum weight of a megalodon would be approximately 180,000 kg, the weight of the largest extant blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus).
Do great white sharks live in the arctic?
No. They usually prefer warm oceans and seas around the equator and spanning upto the tropic of cancer on one side and the tropic of capricorn on the other. They dont live in cold waters and so, do not have the need to migrate. However, they have been known to swim up rivers. They can survive in both salt and fresh water and have been spotted in both rivers and oceans.
How many sets of teeth do sharks develop on average?
around five hundred at a time. They have several rows, whereas humans only have two rows, one on top one on bottom

How much do usual sharks weigh?
Adults great whites are on an average between 4 to 5 meters (13 to 17 feet) in length. Females are generally larger than males. They can weigh an average of around 700 to 1100 kilograms (1500 to 2400 pounds). Giant great whites of weights upto 2200 kilograms (5000 pounds) have been caught by fishermen.
Are Great white sharks mammals?
Sharks are cartilaginous fish. Cartilaginous fish receive oxygen from water via their gills, are cold blooded, and have a skeleton consisting of cartilage, rather than bone. Mammals receive oxygen from the air via lungs, are warm blooded, and have a skeleton made of bone. Mammals also are covered in hair, rather than the scales sharks have, and produce milk for their young. Sharks are not closely related to mammals via evolution, either.
Well, they're many ways the do this:
1. bleach it at the dentist
2.baking soda
3. don't drink soda, wine coffee, or juice too much or it'll give your teeth stains.
4. brush your teeth twice a day after meals for at least from 5-15 minutes.
What happens if a shark does not eat?
Probably not because they can only go so long until they die from starvation
