What's been in the news this week...


This latest week in the news there has been an article about a huge great white shark called Deep Blue. It is one of the biggest great white sharks ever caught on camera and it was seen near Hawaii. The divers said it was pregnant and not hungry at the time so that is why they could get close to it. 

Great white sharks have 2 to 12 eggs born at a time. Great white sharks can live up to 60 years old.  Great white sharks can grow up to 4-5 to 6-5m long but that is a female shark. Male sharks are 3.5 to 4m long. Great white sharks can weigh up to 500kgs to 1000kgs +. 

Did you know a  Megalodon is 18 meters long. That is bigger then a bus?

I would NOT like to swim with this shark!
