	==~~Trivia~~==		==Behind the scenes==
	*While "great white shark bone" is one of the resources that can be gained from hunting great whites in the ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'', they do not actually possess traditional bones. Rather, their skeletons are made of a substance named cartilage, which is lighter and more flexible.
