I have come to the last room in The Roundhouse, which is also our Honeymoon Suite.Carcharias(Carcharodon carcharias), also known as The Great White Shark, white pointer, white shark or the white death.
It is a large lamniform shark found in coastal surface water in all major oceans and is well known for its size and can reach up to 6 meters (20 feet) in length or even exceeds that, and can weigh 2240 kg or more. I don’t have to tell you a lot about the Carcharias, because it is one of the most feared and the most “loved” animal in the ocean besides the Cetecea.
The Carcharias reaches maturity at around 15 years and only then can they start to reproduce young and they have a life span of over 30 years. He is the Apex predator of the ocean and is known to prey upon a variety of marine animals, such as pinnipedea, Chordates and even smaller Cetecea and is the only surviving species of its genus, the Carcharodon.
The Great White shark has to thank the famous movie “Jaws” for its reputation, but also for the research and in the end the protection they richly deserve.
