Can great white sharks survive in New Jersey waters?
Great White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) live in almost all coastal and offshore waters which have water temperature between 12 °C (54 °F) and 24 °C (75 °F). They generate considerable internal heat, and are able to function comfortably in much colder water than some other sharks. On the other hand, they tend not to be found in tropical waters (at least in the Summer) due to the higher water temperatures.
They survive by eating large fish, and aquatic mammals such as seals and sea lions. While there are none of the latter off the Massachusetts coast, there are numbers of large fish.

Water makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Moisture makes the hair supple, so make sure you get plenty of fluids. A key point is NOT to wait until you're thirsty. If you're thirsty, it means your body has already lost more water than it should have, and it's urging you to fill up the tank. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink between eight and ten glasses of water a day.Olive Oil- An oil made from Olea Europaea L. that was believed to have been introduced in Egypt in its later periods.

Intresting facts about great white sharks?
This is from a book.
As their mouths open their front teeth point forwards helping them to gain a bigger bite. Great White Sharks have a sharp and triangular fin. They like to surprise their prey as they attack from below it and will like to kill it with one bite, they do this to save energy. There are cases of Great Whites killing humans every year but Scientists have said this is because they mistake humans for seals or penguins. From below the water they look very similar.
!:Dx
not to humans, they only have their razor sharp teeth to chew their food
Is a great white shark stronger than a crocodile?
As crocodiles are normally found no where near the oceans, I would have to say that the crocodiles and sharks ever coming close to each other is slim to none. Thus my answer is its a moot question as the chances of these two animals even seeing each other is rare.
To stretch this out a bit, a great white shark at twenty feet long, and weighing upwards of two thousand pounds, is a greater match for a crocodile in those two terms alone.
Why are great white sharks endangered?

What is the great white sharks common name?
It is unclear how much a concurrent increase in fishing for great white sharks has caused the decline of great white shark populations from the 1970s to the present. No accurate population numbers are available, but the great white shark is now considered endangered. Sharks taken during the long interval between birth and sexual maturity never reproduce, preventing population recovery.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (C.I.T.E.S.) has put the great white shark on its 'Appendix II' list of endangered species.

Great whites aren't exactly cold water sharks although they do live in the colder waters (such as Vancouver island area) but they usually go to the warmer areas of the coast for winter (such as California :D )

Its usually takes place in a sea or ocean. It happens well far away from shore so dont worry. Shark attacks happen 2-3 times a year and the most serious injury has been death. But most people who suffer are rarely badly injured most of the time they only need stitches!
What sharks been found in the northeast river?
I'd say there's a http:/skool.com of sharks in the James river. don't go swimming in the water!
There are no sharks in the James River. It's perfectly safe to go swimming in.
While the previous entry states there are no sharks in the James River, and while I have never personally seen any sharks in the James River, I have found evidence of sharks in the Appomattox and James Rivers. I grew up in City Point, of Hopewell Va. It is a peninsula made by the convergence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. As a boy, I fished on the Appomattox River bank quite often. I would find shark teeth on the river bank, it was quite common to find shark teeth. So, if there are no sharks in the Appomattox and James Rivers, then how did the teeth get there? We were told as youth they were dog shark teeth. The teeth were definitely shark teeth and were about 1inch long. Supposedly the dog shark is the most common shark around. Here is a link regarding such a shark.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE CASE:
I live in Prince George VA and commonly FOSSIL hunt on the James. These sharks teeth you have found are simply FOSSIL teeth. Modern living sharks have white teeth. Some teeth fossilize white due to the minerals which seep into the original during the fossilization process. This entire area was a sea from the Eocene era to the end of the Miocene. Mega-toothed sharks such as Carcharodon megalodon (Megalodon, the largest to ever live, with up to 7" teeth), Giant makos, and extinct forms of Great White, Tiger, and Mackerel shark teeth are just a few species that can be found in this area. Also saltwater crocodile teeth and dermal scutes, sea turtle shell fragments, whale bone, as well as many invertebrate species that colonize coral reefs can be found. The thing is, they are all FOSSILS. Sorry to shoot down the idea of sharks in the James (I wish!!!).
Another note: Bull sharks can survive and breed in fresh water, however the temperatures at this latitude are not temperate enough for them, even in ocean waters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually Bull sharks roam the shallows off of Nags head and Virginia beach and has claimed victims from both. Please feel free to use google. Secondly ive been catfishing all my life including in the james river, most recently, mainly once about 5 years ago I saw a 60 pound blue catfish with incredible girth a formidable predator that the james river is known for, with a very large set of bite marks that were too clean to be anything but sharp teeth, and too wide to be anything in fresh water, no pike or gar, still have the picture as proof. None have been seen but does not mean they are not there, since i seen that fish i havent been in the water even while handling fish, used to swim as a kid.
further note: Not to mention a large 9 foot bull shark was caught 311 miles up the mississippi river. the epicenter of the james river is only 150 miles from the ocean.
How does great white sharks mate?
Great Whites are ovoviviparous, the eggs develop in the females.........hatching there and continuing to develop until they are born, at which point they are perfectly capable predators
Its simple the reproduce just like Humans.
Scientists dont know yet, but it takes 12-13 years for them to reach maturity.

Great white sharks swim in the ocean because they are very big sea creatures. They need space to swim, and hunt for food. Also, they like to swim near the deepest, darkest, coldest bottom of the ocean.
