Great white sharks are a species of shark that can be found in the coastal waters of every major ocean. Considered the largest predatory fish in the world, they possess nearly 300 serrated teeth arranged in rows.
While great whites are known to attack humans, they tend to do so out of curiosity, rather than hunger; "sample biting" and then releasing their victims.
History
During the 18th century, great whites were hunted by various individuals, including the pirate Edward Kenway and the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac. Due to their quick movements and powerful attacks, they were considered dangerous targets. After great whites were killed and skinned, the spoils were either sold for profit or used to craft other materials.[1][2]
Great whites also tended to roam underwater shipwreck sites in the Caribbean Sea, hampering the diving efforts of pirates who were attempting to loot the sunken treasures. To evade the underwater predators, Edward hid inside wreckages and dense foliages of kelp.[1]
Trivia
- One of the Abstergo challenges in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag required the player to survive ten attacks from great whites while exploring shipwrecks.
