Also just a side note, the 2 largest Great Whites ever recoreded were 36Ft and 37.6Ft in length.

For some decades many ichthyological works, as well as the Guinness Book of World Records, listed two great white sharks as the largest individuals caught: an 11 metre (36 ft) great white captured in South Australian waters near Port Fairy in the 1870s, and an 11.3 metre (37.6 ft) shark trapped in a herring weir in New Brunswick, Canada in the 1930s. While this was the commonly accepted maximum size, reports of 7.5 to 10 metre (25 to 33.3 ft) great white sharks were common and often deemed credible.

Some researchers questioned the reliability of both measurements, noting they were much larger than any other accurately-reported great white shark. The New Brunswick shark may have been a wrongly-identified basking shark, as both sharks have similar body shapes. The question of the Port Fairy shark was settled in the 1970s, when J.E. Reynolds examined the shark's jaws and "found that the Port Fairy shark was of the order of 5 m (17 feet) in length and suggested that a mistake had been made in the original record, in 1870, of the shark's length.

Ellis and McCosker write that "the largest white sharks accurately measured range between 19 and 21 ft [about 5.8 to 6.4 m], and there are some questionable 23-footers [about 7 m] in the popular — but not the scientific — literature". Furthermore, they add that "these giants seem to disappear when a responsible observer approaches with a tape measure."

The largest specimen Ellis and McCosker endorse as reliably measured was 6.4 metres (21.3 ft) long, caught in Cuban waters in 1945.

*cough*

It's hard to tell who's accurate and such but I will say this, whether they're 10ft or 30+ ft, great whites are badass.

Largest predatory fish. And the fact they can hit, what, 15mph in short bursts? That's fast as ****!

[97TurboDSM]

i think on shark week they said they were getting up to 20mph..unless that was the bull shark. yep it was the bull shark, so this post=fail

[su_maverick]

Didnt they say that the Mako could do something like 30mph?

I think it's something like that. The Mako is the fastest shark.

And that's exactly the reason why sharks can sneak up on people. When they swim they hardly displace water.

That one's fake, this one's real...

Not really.

Sharks often mistake people for other animals. Unless you're bleeding. Then it's your own fault.

A great white actually quite often mistakes paddlers for dolphins and the like because it can sense your magnetic fields from muscle contractions, and the smaller movements to stomach a board out will get you a quick smack.

yea i know that. i meant that people cant tell when they're coming, hence shark attacks. and a lot of times its seals they mistake humans for. im not a retard
