The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is likely the worst feared shark currently living in the ocean. Because of the mo

vie Jaws, most people are well aware of this creature. At an average 17 ft (5.2 m) in length, and weighing over 2400 lb (1,100 kg), this monster is a primeval eating machine. It regularly feeds on dolphins, porpoises, whales, seals, sea lions, and many species of fish. Ichthyologists have even observed great whites eating birds by leaping out of the water and catching them in their massive jaws.
These adept hunters make use of an organ known as the Ampullae of Lorenzini, which allows the fish to detect the electromagnetic fields created by the movement of living animals. Whenever a living creature moves, it generates an electrical field. Great whites, among other sharks, can detect this field up to one half a billionth of a volt. This allows the great white to detect prey by the movement of its heartbeat.
Scientists know little about the social habits of the great white. The animals have a strict hierarchy according to size, gender, and age. The majority of their time is spent hunting. Mating encounters are brief, and mothers give birth to live young. It is not known how long great whites live, but scientists estimate the creatures can live anywhere from 75 to 100 years of age.

I would think C, since it has something to do with both with the species and its' eating habits.

What are two causes of climate change?
zhannawk [14.2K]
Usually, the main cause of climate change is the " greenhouse effect"  which warm the earth's surface as a result of atmospheric pollution by gases, the particular greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, ozone , and chlorofluorocarbon that heat from earth's surface is absorbed by  atmospheric greenhouse gases that produces this difference between the definite surface temperature and the effective temperature is due to the atmosphere. the increased amount of gasses that absorbed heat is advance to had more heat being retained in the atmosphere and can increase the global average surface temperature,not only greenhouse effect that cause climate change the human aspects can also change earth's climate, human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, and it can be one causing global warming.
