Baby Great White Shark: Survival Struggle in the Depths of the Ocean

This young specimen, only a few days old, moves gracefully through the waters off the coast of Gansbaai in South Africa. Great White Sharks are top predators of the ocean and are born fully developed. Their diet primarily consists of small fish and squids. Despite their adaptability, survival is a significant challenge for many pups. Only the strongest and smartest manage to reach adulthood.
