Maybe It Should Be Called The Great Bite Shark
Each Great White shark has several rows of jagged, triangular-shaped teeth - up to 3,000 of them. Whenever a tooth is broken or lost, the one behind it moves forward, so the shark always has a full set of teeth ready for biting. Despite all those teeth, Great White sharks don't chew their food. Instead, they use their teeth to rip off large chunks of meat and swallow it whole.
