The biggest great white shark ever recorded was spotted in November 2013 by a team of researchers and conservationists who were studying shark populations in the area.
To determine the size of the shark, the research team used a combination of underwater footage and photographs, as well as measurements taken from the baited hooks.
Despite its size, however, the shark is also surprisingly graceful in the water, moving with a fluid, an almost hypnotic motion that is both beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Great white sharks use a variety of hunting techniques to catch their prey. One of their most famous tactics is breaching, where they launch themselves out of the water to catch their prey by surprise.
They also use their incredible sense of smell to locate their prey from great distances, and they can detect a single drop of blood in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The migratory patterns of great white sharks are impressive. These highly mobile creatures are capable of journeying thousands of miles in search of food and breeding grounds.
