What eats a great white shark when its dead?
At the bottom of the ocean there is a type of shrimp that can starve for years then once a whale or a shark dies it slowly makes its way to the deep sea bed, and once that journey is complete the shrimp engorge on the carcus and left-over skin. Hope that answers your question! :)

Why are sharks teeth black that you find?
Shark teeth are made up of calcium phosphate, which is the mineral apatite. Although shark teeth are sturdier than the cartilage that makes up their skeleton, the teeth still disintegrate over time unless they are fossilized. This is why you rarely find white shark teeth on a beach.
Shark teeth are preserved if the tooth is buried, which prevents decomposition by oxygen and bacteria. Shark teeth buried in sediments absorb surrounding minerals, turning them from a normal whitish tooth color to a deeper color, usually black, gray or tan. The fossilization process takes at least 10,000 years, although some fossil shark's teeth are millions of years old! Fossils are old, but you can't tell the approximate age of a shark tooth simply by its color because the color (black, gray, brown) depends completely on the chemical composition of the sediment that replaced the calcium during the fossilization process.
Is a stinkbug a vertebrate or invertebrate?
It's an invertebrate. Stinkbugs are insects (several species). All insects are invertebrates (they have no bones, let alone backbones).
Why are sharks adapted to where they live?
To ensure survival. Without adaptations, they would die to changing environments and prey. As with many animals in the sea, they are extremely sensitive when environments change too much. For example, with overfishing certain areas, sharks have the choice to starve to death or adapt. Sometimes, this forces sharks to search for food in new places and become more desperate. This can lead to higher shark attacks on people, since there is nothing left in the water. It is important for us to stop over-fishing the oceans because we are inevitabley risking our own lives.
What time of the day do sharks usually hunt?
They tend to eat after a light work out or when they become hungry, say about breakfast time, lunch or dinner time. Scientific research has shown that sand sharks like nothing more than a nice donner kebab when they leave the pub; say about 02:55. They cannot abide chilli sauce though science has proven!
Does a great white shark have a penis?
No, but they have 2 claspers to position and deposit sperm into the female.
Apart from fur color, a white tiger is exactly the same animal as a normal tiger, so just as strong.
Do sharks live near the surface of the water or the bottom of the ocean?
It always depends on the shark, so both, basically.
What is the life cycle of a Barracuda Shark?
Their lifespan has not been definitively established, though many sources estimate 30 to 40 years. It would not be unreasonable to expect such a large marine animal to live longer however.

Who is bigger a shark or tiger shark?
Which of the other 500+ species of shark are you comparing it to? The Tiger Shark is the fourth largest shark alive today, the three largest are the Whale Shark, the Basking Shark and the Great White Shark. These are decided by the largest recorded specimen, and though the Tiger Shark has the fourth largest recorded length, on average the Greenland Shark grows to a greater length than the Tiger Shark
What is the Greenland shark enemies?
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 way! But they do eat small OTHER birds and their eggs. :)
