Description: The Baby great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is seen moving in the murky waters off Gyser Rock in the South Atlantic. Just a few days old, this shark is already fully developed and self-sufficient. Measuring 1.10 to 1.50 meters in length and weighing between 18-30 kilograms, it feeds on small fish, rays, and squids. This young animal is extremely cautious and disappears instantly when a full-grown shark appears. Only a few baby great white sharks make it to adulthood.
