Question

★★ great white sharks
previous studies have described great white sharks as largely solitary creatures with
few natural predators. recently, adult male great whites off the coast of new zealand
have been observed with significant scarring, particularly around the gills and tail. in a
2022 study, marine biologists sought to understand the scarring. early in the study,
they postulated that female great whites were aggressively establishing male great
whites as lower in the social hierarchy. ultimately, they concluded that great whites are
more social than we once believed, and scarring is proof of a complex social structure.
