Great white shark in 16: Carcharodon in the Miocene

The 1975 film increased trophy interest and beach fear. Later decline drivers are fins, bycatch and slow life history. Benchley later argued the fiction had been taken as a brief. A mid-Pacific patch where California-tagged whites linger. Foraging on midwater squid and fish is the working hypothesis, not a seal colony.

They are regional endotherms. Countercurrent heat exchangers keep muscle and stomach above ambient -- not mammalian homeothermy. Cape fur seals and elephant seals create predictable prey. Cage tourism and research boats stacked on those same reefs. A very large female photographed at Guadalupe and later Hawaii -- a media name, not a stock assessment.

Appendix II in 2004. Papers still move; the listing forces permits and data, not a zero quota. Many coastal adults make basin-scale loops (California-Cafe-Hawaii). Site fidelity to seal colonies is seasonal. Is the species recovering where seals recovered? Cape Cod and parts of California show more sightings as grey seals rebounded. Sightings are not a global Vulnerable reversal.
