Description

Great White Shark - Carcharodon carcharias

Ok turns out drawing a great white shark is harder than it looks, as i was drawing this its face seemed too blunt, hopefully i managed to do the animal justice here
Also worst part about drawing a shark is that i can't google shark fins for references without getting bummed out by the horrible images of shark fishing

The title means "Fish" and can be seen in many prehistoric names like Ichthyosaurus (fish lizard), Ichthyornis (fish bird) and Leedsichthys (leeds fish)
I chose the great white because it is such a powerful animal and is so iconic to the world, when you say shark i doubt this isn't the 1st species that comes to mind.

I think the thing i like most about sharks in general is that they are not like any other fish, they look smooth but really have tooth like scales called dermal denticles, which are such an amazing skin covering, allowing the shark to both resist parasites like barnacles from forming but also allows it to be extremely streamlined in water.
i think the biggest thing that makes them seem unlike any fish is the fact a baby shark is called a pup, that instantly makes me feel like they are more like sea wolves than just a normal fish.

I know there is much less detail than compared to the Suchus picture but really sharks are smooth looking animals, i had to make this look a little simple.
Also i found a super cool GIF while searching for Great white teeth, i hope you all like this picture :aww:
