The Great White Shark!

This viscous creature is one of the most amazing in the ocean.

The Great White Shark can be, 5 meters long and weigh up to 2,450 pounds, the females are generally larger than the males. The normal maximum size of a great white is 6 meters and 4,200 pounds.  This animal is arguably the world’s largest known predatory fish. The great white sharks teeth are sharp but there jaws are not strong. All sharks can smell blood from five miles away. Great white Sharks’ reputation as ferocious predators is well earned, yet they are not (as was once believed) indiscriminate “eating machine”. They hunt using an “ambush” technique, taking their prey by surprise from below. Great white sharks are carnivorous, and primarily eat fish (including rays, tuna, and smaller sharks), dolphins, porpoises, whale carcasses and pinniped such as seals, fur seals and sea lions and sometimes sea turtles. Sea otters and penguins are attacked at times although rarely, if ever, eaten. Great whites have also been known to eat objects that they are unable to digest. For example (fish nets parts of medal and plants under the sea.)

Great white Sharks live in almost all coastal and offshore waters. Great white sharks can also be found in tropical waters. This had disproved traditional theories of white sharks being coastal territorial predators. Shark cage-diving is when a group of tourists or those who wish to study the sharks up close are lowered into the water beside a boat, protected by a steel cage. Practices have raised the fear that sharks may be becoming more accustomed to people in their environment and beginning to associate human activity with food – a potentially dangerous situation.

The latest research suggests that the great white shark is more closely related to the mako shark than to the megalodon shark. As many scientists would place the megalodon and White Shark as distant relatives – sharing the family Lamnidae but no closer relationship. The Great White is classified as a mackerel (Lamnidae) shark.

 

 

 

 

 

 

About my cat Racoona

I have a cat called Racoona. Racoona is my cat. Racoona was born November 11, 2005 which is Remembrance Day. She was born with two other cats Pumpkin Jr and Brownie. My mom named the cat Racoona Because of her fur patterns. Naiome had even more kittens so we had to give her and her new kittens away. At first Racoona didn’t care about boys but now when a guy comes in the house she smells them.  Sometimes she sits at the window and meows so other cats will come. One day Johanna, my Aunt who lives with me went out and came back with a cat she got from her friend. We already had Racoona, so when the cat (who is a boy) came in the house, Racoona just watched him. He ate some of Racoona’s food. My mom said we can’t keep him so we gave him to my next door neighbor. And that’s a little about my cat Racoona

What Subjects I like the best

The  subject  I  like  is  math  because  sometimes   math  is  fun.  Sometimes  for  me it’s  boring when  a  unit  has many questions. I’m  not  really  good  at  multiplication  and  fractions  because  sometimes  I  kind  of  get  mixed  up.  But  usually  math is   really  not  my  favorite  subject.    My  favorite  are subjects  like  art, music, gym  and  English. Sometimes  those  subjects  are  fun    for  me    because   they’re  useful  for  me. And  now  I’m  gona  tell  you  guys  why  I  like  these  subjects. Why  I  like  English  is  for  a  reason  because  sometimes  we  do  activities  in  English. And  why  I  like  art  is  is  because  I  like  drawing ever since I was  7  years  old  and   I  always    like  to  draw   and  I  wish  I  could  become  an  artist   one  day.  The  last  subject  I  like  is GYM.  For  me  gym  is  fun, happy  and  really   exiting.  I  don’t  no  why  I  like  gym   but  in  gym  we are always moving  and  playing  but  the  bad  part  is  sweating.  But   it  doesn’t  mean  I  hate  gym.  Now  you  no  all  about  my  favorite  subjects.
