Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias): Iconic and feared, the great white shark patrols coastlines worldwide. Growing up to 20 feet, it uses electroreception and keen smell to detect prey. Though not all attacks are predatory, its powerful bite can cause fatal injuries. Most incidents involve mistaken identity, such as confusing surfers for seals. Conservation status is vulnerable due to overfishing and finning. Research shows they play a crucial role in ocean health by regulating seal and fish populations. Public perception, fueled by media, often exaggerates their danger, while scientists emphasize the need for protection and coexistence.
