Neighborhood Sharks by Katherine Roy*

"Hunting with the Great Whites of California's Farallon Islands"
Very well researched.
Ms. Roy shares how great whites attack their prey; then cleverly weaves in how their body structures have been created to attack.
Topics include:  their prey-elephant seals, the great white's body structure, their ability generate warm blood, their amazing vision, teeth, projectile jaws, tagging of the sharks by scientists, food chain, migration

Blood is drawn so not for the squeamish!!

Text features: headings, cross sections/cut aways, labels, diagrams, close ups, arrows, author's note with more information, online resources, map
**Highly recommend.
