How big are Great White Sharks?
Imagine an adult person – now triple that size. That’s the size of the Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias). Take the size of an adult and multiply it ten times, and you get the Giant Megatooth (Carcharodon megalodon) about the size and weight of a railroad car. More about the great white shark can be found in our Great White Shark featured story.
