Do you know how many teeth does a white shark have in its entire life? Is it an easy question? There is probably no easy answer when great white shark teeth are concerned. They probably have 24 exposed teeth on its top and lower jaws. But behind, there are five rows that regularly loose teeth and develop within a short period of time. In this way great whites spare hundreds of teeth in their lifetime.
King of the ocean:
Great whites are called as king of the ocean, because they instill both terror and awe in most of us. The average length of a great white was 15 feet long and 5,000 pounds weight. These creatures often attack on unwitting swimmers. Although the Megalodon is the largest, this species is also considered as an undisputed ruler of the sea.
Great white teeth:
They are probably one of the favorite tourist souvenirs. Their top teeth are triangular, large in size, sharp and serrated. The bottom teeth are narrower and hold the prey firmly. At any given time, they had up to 300 teeth in all 7 rows.
