Great White Shark: The Perfect Killer That Rarely Hunts Humans

Great white shark attacks are rare — but this perfect killer can smell blood, sense your heartbeat, and crush bone with 18,000 newtons of bite force. Why does it almost never hunt humans? It can swim at 56 km/h, carries around 300 serrated teeth, and has survived for 16 million years almost unchanged. Yet sharks kill around 10 people a year worldwide, while humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks. Most attacks are a case of mistaken identity: from below, a surfer looks exactly like a seal. One exploratory bite, then it lets go. This is the real story of the great white — its senses, its hunting grounds, the orcas that hunt it, the Jaws myth, and why the ocean needs its top predator alive.
