Great white sharks are one of the world's most impressive and familiar predators - but until recently we knew surprisingly little about them. This book changes all that, opening a window into the amazing world of New Zealand's great whites. Join Kiwi shark scientists Malcolm Francis and Clinton Duffy as they track great white sharks from the cool waters of southern New Zealand to the warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef and the tropical Pacific.
"Alison Ballance, New Zealand scientist and science reporter for
Radio New Zealand, is the ideal person to write this book about the latest
research on New Zealand's Great White Sharks. The book is based on the New
Zealand great white shark project, which began in 2005 and was inspired by
ground-breaking work by Australian and United States scientists, who had
started electronically tagging the species in 1999. With topics such as: How
Old is that Shark?, On the Menu, Built for the Kill, How Sharks Navigate, Shark
Sex and Baby Sharks, this book is packed full of interesting information, ideal
for school projects. Accompanying the wealth of information are many, many
photos and diagrams and the book is completed with a very detailed index and a
glossary. "- Bookrapt reviewed this on Goodreads.com
