This type of shark is will also occasionally attack boats! Some people think that the electric fields from boats are the cause. The Great White Shark feeds on dolphins, rays, tuna, smaller sharks, sea lions, seals and whatever else they can get their jaws into. Great Whites can detect even tiny amounts of blood in the water up to 3 miles away! They will often attack by surprise from below creating a spectacular display of hunting as they jump out of the water grabbing their prey at the same time!

Researchers are now trying to mimic the process of Darwinian evolution and have evolved several new proteins in a fraction of the 3 billion years it took nature.
