Now I have a very strong interest in biology and how things work, so I decided to make a journal about a list of predators that are so good at what they do that they have not evolved much at all.
Let us start with the apex predators, sharks.
Sharks have been around for roughly 420 million years ago and there is more than 400 species of sharks around the world.
Sharks have a very keen sense of smell with some species able to detect as little as one part per million of blood in seawater.
The largest shark which is the whale shark is actually not deadly, however some of the deadliest sharks can grow (though not very common) to be near or over 20ft.
The best know sharks are:
The Great White.
Tiger Shark.
Mako Shark.
Blue Shark.
Bull shark.
Hammerhead Shark.
Bull sharks are able to swim in fresh waters, which makes them very deadly as they can swim up rivers and catch humans by surprise.
Mako sharks are the fastest sharks, able to swim up to or even over 40mph and jump around over 24 ft in the air.
The Great White Shark, also known as Carcharodon Carcharias and White Death is one of the most famous and infamous sharks out there, it's large size and fearsome shape have contributed to it's reputation, however, the film Jaws also gave it a lot of infamy. The shark's size can exceed 20 ft and is perhaps the largest predatory fish. Great Whites have a very sensitive sense to electromagnetic fields caused by movements, this allows them to track their prey more easily. A 20 ft shark's bite force was able to exert a bite force of 18,000 newtons.
A great white only has one predator, the Orca though encounters are apparently rare.
Tiger Sharks have a reputation for eating anything so long as it can fit in their mouths, the tiger shark is one of the most dangerous sharks to humans and is second on the list of most
attacks.
More will come soon.
