Great White Sharks Develop Specialized Teeth as They Grow

Great white sharks have special teeth that change as they grow.

When they are young, their teeth are thin and have small side parts to help them catch fish and squid.

As they grow bigger, their teeth become broader, thicker, and have sharp edges.

This helps them catch and eat larger animals like seals and whales.

Scientists studied almost 100 sharks and found that the teeth at the front of the mouth are different from those at the back.

The front teeth are good for grabbing and holding prey, while the back teeth are better for tearing and cutting.

This shows that great white sharks have teeth that change to help them eat different kinds of food as they grow up.
