White Shark

White sharks can reach bursts of speed up to 56 km/h (35 mph) when attacking prey from below. They can breach completely out of the water when hunting seals, launching themselves up to 3 meters into the air in spectacular displays of power.

Unlike most sharks, white sharks are partially warm-blooded (endothermic). They can maintain their body temperature up to 14°C warmer than surrounding water through a heat-exchange system in their blood vessels. This gives them enhanced muscle power and allows them to hunt in colder waters.

White sharks can detect electrical fields as small as one billionth of a volt through specialized organs called ampullae of Lorenzini. This allows them to sense the heartbeat of prey hidden under sand and even detect the Earth's magnetic field for navigation.
