Description: The Baby Great White Shark, scientifically known as Carcharodon carcharias, is a fascinating creature. In this image, we see a few days old Great White Shark swimming near the coast of Gansbaai in South Africa. Great White Sharks are remarkably developed from birth, with a body length of 1.10 to 1.50 meters and weighing between 18 and 30 kilograms. They primarily feed on small fish, rays, and squids. Pups are cautious and flee when an adult shark appears. Only a few Baby Great White Sharks make it to adulthood.
