FRom GreatWhite.org -- IT WAS HOW BIG??

The size of the GW is of great interest to not only the general public but also to marine biologists.

It is not known how large the GW gets but a top size of approximately 7 meters (approx. 21 feet) is the most often quoted figure.

How long is this? Picture a couple of Hondas parked in a row and then picture a shark as long as the two cars with a mouth about 3-4 feet wide and you've got a pretty good idea.

The average GW is not nearly as large being only about 10-15 feet in length. However, this is still longer than my Mazda . . . which is big enough for me!

They get huge. Somebody got a hapoon imto one south of Long Island estimated at 35-40 feet. They called the Coast Guard to keep watch om them lest the thing sink their 40 foot boat. They followed the shark and the barrel for two days until the shark broke loose.
