Sharks eat a variety of different food including marine mammals like sea lions and seals. They don’t eat dolphins because they have been known to gang up on sharks and hurt or even kill them.

The Great White can grow to 6 metres long and weigh over 2000 KG. They are very fast and can swim up to 35 miles per hour. With 300 sharp, serrated teeth each over 6 centimetres long they are top notch killing machines.
