Where do great white sharks get their food?
Great White sharks are apex predators, they're at the top of the food chain so they pretty much eat whatever they want. Seals with their high body fat are perfect prey.
When a great white spots one they dive down deep and then accelerate upwards at high speeds and grab the unlucky creature in its mouth. That's also why surfers can be attacked, and also why they usually survive. The shark goes for the centre o the creature, the board when the surfer is towards the back. The shark doesn't like the taste of the board so it leaves.
Great White are centred usually around areas with a high seal population. Cape of Good Hope (False Bay), Farallon Islands (San Francisco), Port Phillip Island and the South coast of Australia to name a few.

Why are bull sharks the most aggressive sharks?
The bull shark, also known as the whaler shark, Zambezi shark or unofficially known as Zambi in Africa and Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua, is a shark common worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. The bull shark is well known for its unpredictable, often aggressive behavior. Many scientists agree that since bull sharks often dwell in shallow waters, they may be more dangerous to humans than any other species of shark, and that they, tiger sharks and great white sharks are the three shark species most likely to attack humans.
Unlike most other marine sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water. They can travel far up rivers. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of shark attacks on humans that take place near the shore, including many attacks attributed to other species. However, bull sharks are not true freshwater sharks unlike the river sharks of the genius. Once bull sharks smell human flesh and/or meat, they immediately go to where they are at. This also requires fish and other sharks.

The megalodon is not only the biggest prehistoric shark known, it is also believed to be the biggest carnivorous fish to have existed!
Although now extinct, they were the largest shark that ever lived, up to 60 feet or more. They were once thought to be related to the great white, but recent evidence shows they were more closely to requiem sharks, like the tiger and bull sharks.

Why do people kill manta rays?
I have never heard of people poaching manatees; mainly the problem is motor boats accidentally cutting them with their motors or people harassing them. If anyone were to poach them, I'd say it would be because they are endangered, and their skin would be very rare and probably valuable in the black market.
