  coastal temperate waters, and have been known to
  make dives into the deep water of some open
  oceans.
• These Sharks live shallow Ocean coast as three
  feet to twelve 1280 metres or 4,199 feet.
• They are found in the following oceans
• California to Alaska, the East Coast of the USA

What is a biome?

• According to Dr. Douglas Long, it describes and
  illustrates the behavior and habitat of the great
  white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and
  includes colour and black and white images.

What type of Biome do they live?

• The type of biomes Great White live in are the
  coastal and offshore waters where the sea surface
  temperatures range between twelve to twenty four
  degree Celsius. They may come from surface waters
  to depths of 1280 metres to shore and enter small
  bays from off distant oceanic islands.

5
What do they eat?

• The Great White Sharks are not only important
  predators in the marine ecosystem, but their
  favorite preys are seals and sea lions. When they
  are not fully-grown up they eat fish, and rays.
• When they become fully-grown, they eat marine
  animals such as whales, seals, dolphins, large
  tuna fish, sea otters, and dead animals that they
  find floating on the surface.

What is their niche?

• The Great White Sharks niches are very
  unpredictable, in terms of catching its food and
  in terms of attacking its prey. When they spot a
  shape of a seal they charge full speed and ram
  the prey and it a first bite all in one motion
  will stuns and injures the prey. It then
  disappears and allows the prey to bleed to death
  when a certain preys dead it begins to feed. The
  Great White Sharks dont chew their food, they
  just rip it into mouth-sized pieces and swallow
  it whole. A big meal can last a shark up to two
  months.

Who are there predators or enemies?

• The Great White Sharks predators are seals, sea
  lions, and the occasional dolphin, theyve been
  known to swallow lots of other things.
• Who are there enemies?
• The Great White Sharks enemies are orcas and
  sea lions that attack them ferociously. It has
  seen that Sea lions have thrown them in the air
  like a Frisbee. Perhaps the greatest enemy of The
  Great White Sharks is Man.
