Africano

El gran tiburón blanco es el pez depredador más grande de la Tierra, capaz de alcanzar 6 metros de longitud y 2.000 kg de peso, habitando aguas costeras y oceánicas frescas en todos los océanos principales. Son depredadores de alto nivel que emplean ataques en emboscada desde abajo, dirigidos principalmente a mamíferos marinos, peces de gran tamaño y aves marinas.
