Alright guys, it’s time for a true monster, a monster from the real world. Meet the great white shark! - The great white shark, also known as simply great white, is a formidable predator. This monster hunts in all major oceans in the world and can reach up to 6 meters in length. The great white can live to be around 30 years of age, but it only matures when it’s 15.
A lot of people fear the white shark. To them it’s just a killing machine consisting of a huge mouth. But to some degree they’re right. Sharks in general are so good at what they’re doing that they have remained virtually almost unchanged for millions and millions of years. But the great white doesn’t actually have human meat as its favorite food. In reality it’s more into sea lions, seabirds and fish.
But when that has been said it’s important to note that since 1876 65 people have been killed by great whites and 242 have been attacked but survived. A little bonus info is that Australia is the country in the world with most fatal white shark attacks.
People really started to fear this creature when Steven Spielberg made the movie “JAWS.” That movie literally made people afraid of swimming in the ocean! But if people are so afraid of a puny 6 meter shark, they should be thankful that its bigger brother charcarodon megalodon isn’t around anymore, but that one we’ll save for another Monster Madnezz post!!!
Great Whites are scary as hell.
SvarSletAs a surfer - I am terrified of them...
Jaws is my favorite Stevens movie!
SvarSletBull sharks are more dangerous. Just saying. :P
SvarSletThey are amazing to look at. I went at a zoo once and there was one that passsed right near the window and god they are huge!
SvarSletI'll try to steer clear of Australia then ;)
SvarSletNow there's a big fish. Wow!
SvarSletJaws scared me to death, but they are really amazing and beautiful creatures. :)
SvarSleti like shark meat
SvarSletWow dind't know that! but watch out! i neve get close at one of those :O
SvarSletI SO wanna go in a shark cage.. It's all about the Megalodon though :p
SvarSletSharks are pretty awesome. Especially if they chew up the concrete like Street Sharks.
SvarSletYeah, I am not afraid of sharks at all. That would be like being afraid of a cow while walking in the pasture.
Can't wait to hear about the ancestor to a shark. I love megafauna :D
Thats because we're so boney, they just spit us back out!
SvarSletsheesh don't mess around with one of these guys!
SvarSletastounishing to know it is an animal
SvarSletthose things are ferocious. six meters is still pretty big!
SvarSletshark's freaking me since the film from spielberg :(
SvarSletEverything seems to be in Swedish or something similar. At least you typed in English! lol. Anyway, sharks are neat. Megalodons' mouths are completely nuts. I think I read somewhere that they could eat whole buses. T_T
SvarSletI can't imagine getting attacked and surviving. There would be so much pain I would probably want to die.
SvarSletI like your post and I would really like to see more of them!
SvarSletNice post. You should have also written how the movie Jaws was inspired by shark eating the crew of a sunk america airplane carrier during the second world war.
SvarSletWow such a scary shark
SvarSletI thought they just exist in movies Oo and not in reality
SvarSletI hate sharks, they scare me
SvarSletI once heard them described as the Wolves of the sea. Some are dangerous but most are misunderstood.
SvarSletSharks are terrifying
SvarSletscary monster and a real one at that
SvarSlet"but it only matures when it’s 15"
SvarSletYou learn something new everyday. Its also worth noting most attacks are them mistaking you for something tasty.

SvarSletStreet Sharks were so awesome! Maybe I should make another category about toy monsters??? :P
Frellin:
SvarSletPlease, it's Danish -_-
But thanks for pointing it out, I wasn't sure if it was only on my screen, lol. Don't know how to change it though.
