This week’s episode is The Great White Shark, aka the largest macropredatory fish of the oceans.
First, what the heck happened to sharks 19 million years ago when 90% of sharks just disappeared from the ocean??? This unknown event didn’t seem to affect other ocean animals, but wiped out between 70% and 90% of shark species. Scientists have no idea what happened to the sharks, and we’ll have to wait probably a decade for more information, cause that's how science works.
Of all the different shark species, the great white shark is responsible for most of the recorded shark bite incidents on humans. Does that make them bad? No. And, luckily for humans, we’re either too boney for the Great White’s liking, or we’re able to get away before we bleed to death.
You might think White Sharks are related to the Giant Megalodon (which could literally grow to the size of a semitrailer), but they’re actually more closely related to Mako Sharks, which you’ve probably never heard of.
Due to recent scientific research we’ve recently learned a lot of about Great White Sharks that we didn’t know just a few years ago. Listen now as Better Than Human presents, The Great White Shark: Not the Scariest Predator in the Seas.
