 How will a huge female great white shark do against a saltwater crocodile? |

I haven't researched these 2 animals much, but i have a feeling that a huge female GWS would win more often than not even though its a female. The largest specimens of both animals would have about the same length, but the female GWS would weigh alot more.

"Computer models suggest that the maximum bite force for a large shark would be 18,000 Newtons (18,000kgm/s²), but this hasn’t been measured on a living shark. Sharks have very sharp teeth and rely on slicing and head-shaking to rip off chunks of flesh, so they don’t need to bite down with their full force." www.sciencefocus.com/nature/how-powerful-is-a-great-white-sharks-jaw/amp/ |

/\ That is right. Some sharks can bite through turtle shell. Anyway did you know that most sharks are not dangerous to humans? One of them is the biggest fish in the world called the whale shark. The second largest shark is the basking shark.

Agreement with the Monster - Lessons we learned from the Great White Shark in Turkish waters
Abstract and Figures
Whenever a conversation starts on the great white shark, the term “monster” has always been the most frequently used statement to describe this magnificent but misunderstood predatory fish. Agreement with the Monster, was written in the light of current knowledge to summarise the lessons we have learned from the great white shark, whose existence was denied for many years in Turkish waters. The language is English. Year of publication; 2020, 74 pages

Great white shark (ca. 500 cm TL; TGWSDA specimen No 42; Appendix I), incidentally caught by a commercial purse-seiner off Foça, on March 18 th , 1991. (Hakan Kabasakal's archive).

This is the creature that has great white sharks trembling with fear nypost.com/2023/01/20/the-creature-that-has-great-white-sharks-quaking-with-fear/?utm_source=FCFacebook&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&fbclid=IwAR1B3HGtWkZ9j5aqmF37kAQGsJEIXpygnavMARyLhm12MD8x-Dn9oyHJvZY How the tides have turned. An unlikely pair of culprits have been scaring great white sharks away from the coast of South Africa for years, according to scientists who began noticing the absence of the dreaded apex predator along the country’s Western Cape — known as the global “Great White Capital” — back in 2017. What was first suspected to have been caused by human activities such as overfishing has now been pinned on something else entirely. According to new research, it’s a particularly vicious pair of orcas, or killer whales. Not only are they slaughtering the great whites en masse — eight carcasses have washed ashore since 2017 and many more deaths are suspected, per the latest reports — but the orcas are also tearing apart their prey to get at the hearts and nutrient-filled livers. “What we seem to be witnessing is a large-scale avoidance, mirroring what we see used by wild dogs in the Serengeti in Tanzania in response to increased lion presence,” said study lead and marine biologist Alison Towner. The mass exodus is encouraging a new mesopredator — the bronze whaler shark, which is known to be eaten by the great white — to flood the area, only to run into the apparently insatiable interlopers. “These Bronze Whalers are also being attacked by the Orcas too, who are indicating a level of experience and skill in hunting large sharks,” Towner said. *More information and video on site provided...

I heard sharks have a muscle mass percentage of 85%.

 The biggest shark is toothless. |

 So is the basking shark, the second largest shark. |

Do sharks hunt people? Most sharks are not dangerous to humans — people are not part of their natural diet.  Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed on fish and marine mammals. Only about a dozen of the more than 300 species of sharks have been involved in attacks on humans. Sharks evolved millions of years before humans existed and therefore humans are not part of their normal diets. Sharks are opportunistic feeders, but most sharks primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Some of the larger shark species prey on seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals. Sharks have been known to attack humans when they are confused or curious. If a shark sees a human splashing in the water, it may try to investigate, leading to an accidental attack. Still, sharks have more to fear from humans than we do of them. Humans hunt sharks for their meat, internal organs, skin, and fins in order to make products such as shark fin soup, lubricants, and leather. Sharks are a valuable part of marine ecosystems, but overfishing threatens some shark populations. NOAA Fisheries conducts research on shark habitats, migratory patterns, and population change in order to understand how to best protect and maintain a stable shark population. oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sharkseat.html#:~:text=Most%20sharks%20are%20not%20dangerous,involved%20in%20attacks%20on%20humans.

How would a great white shark do against any land animal? Even the largest male polar bear is toast if it encounters one in my opinion.

That's the max weight. Also scientists aren't really sure how much large the Megalodon was due to the fact there's not a complete skeleton as Megalodon is only known because of teeth fossils.

Great white shark kills elephant seal Such attacks are unusual because big bull elephant seals can be formidable foes for sharks: “They’re massive and have big teeth,” said Brian Hatfield, wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey at Piedras Blancas, north of San Simeon. Heinrichs said the size of larger seals usually discourages sharks from attacking. “Younger seals, juveniles weighing 1,000 to 2,000 pounds, are usually considered more desirable prey, for exactly that reason,” she said. “A big bull can turn around and bite his attacker. An injured shark is effectively a dead shark.” Hatfield said the incident was “unusual but not unheard of,” estimating that the seal was not quite full grown, but still “a big guy” with “plenty of fat on him” — perhaps 6 or 7 years old and 12 feet long. Fully mature male elephant seals typically weigh more than 5,000 pounds. Hatfield said he usually sees two or three such incidents in a year, and no more than four. The shark’s strategy when hunting such an animal, he said, is to “make a big hit or powerful strike, then back off and let it bleed out.” www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/community/cambrian/article124319429.html |
