They live in tropical and subtropical waters, and they can grow up to 9 meters long. Most Great White Sharks are actually grey, blue or brown with a white belly, and their powerful teeth are triangles with edges like saws.

Whale Sharks are brown or grey with white or yellow stripes. They often travel near the surface of the sea. The Mako Shark Mako Sharks are fierce predators. They come from the same family of sharks as the Great White Shark and they are especially fast—they can swim at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour. They are large bluish sharks found in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Mako Sharks can grow up to 3 meters long. The Great Hammerhead Shark The Great Hammerhead Sharks most striking feature is its wide thick head which looks like a hammer. The average size of a Great Hammerhead Shark is approximately 3.5 meters, but it can grow up to 6 meters long. These sharks average over 500 pounds but can weigh as much as 1，000 pounds. Like most sharks the females are larger than the males. They have several rows of teeth that have 24 to 37 teeth per row. The Great Hammerhead Shark has a very keen sense of smell, which helps it find its prey. 1．What can we learn from the text? A．Sharks usually live in icy waters.
