Small leopard sharks fall prey to larger sharks such as the great white shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ) and the broadnose sevengill shark ( " Notorynchus cepedianus " ).

Using a modified stereo-camera system, the research quantified behavioral interactions between white sharks ( Carcharodon carcharias ) and a baited target in the presence of a commercially available, personal electric shark deterrent ( Shark Shield Freedom7 ).

Great white sharks ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ) do not consume relatively fat-poor sea otters but shark-bitten carcasses have increased from 8 % in the 1980s to 15 % in the 1990s and to 30 % in 2010 and 2011.

These observations suggest that the great hammerhead seeks to disable rays with the first bite, a strategy similar to that of the great white shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ), and that its cephalofoil is an adaptation for prey handling.

These sharks are possibly the ancestors of the Great White Shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ) and Megalodon ( " Carcharodon megalodon " ), as both these species have tooth serrations very similar to the serrations of " Palaeocarcharodon ".

The sister species relationship between the longfin and shortfin makos has been confirmed by several phylogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA . In turn, the closest relative of the two mako sharks is the great white shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ).

Among the largest extant sharks, the tiger shark ranks in average size only behind the whale shark ( " Rhincodon typus " ), the basking shark ( " Cetorhinus maximus " ), and the great white shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ).

In the waters surrounding Tenth Island, Therese Cartwright, aged 35 years and a mother of five children, was killed as a result of a human shark attack fatality on 5 June 1993 when a reportedly long great white shark ( " Carcharodon carcharias " ) attacked Cartwright while she was scuba diving at the seal colony.

The research team conducted field experiments testing white shark response to both a static bait ( natural prey ) and a dynamically towed seal decoy at Neptune Islands, South Australia, and Seal Island, South Africa, respectively, documenting their findings in a research report titled : " Effects of the Shark Shield electric deterrent on the behaviour of white sharks ( Carcharodon carcharias ) ".
