Great white shark — Jaws film · 85
[653] [roadmap-great-white-shar] A mid-Pacific patch where California-tagged whites linger. Foraging on midwater squid and fish is the working hypothesis, not a seal colony. 85 False Bay breach photos became the default hunt image. 1975: log Great white shark under “Jaws film” with 1975. Do not rank the species. Benchley later essays treated the novel as a debt.
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. Great white shark is one of 24 types in this animals atlas. The pages treat it as a full system -- history, anatomy, operating principles, culture, icons, future pressure and market shape -- not a ranking of a best species.
Scores compare the great white shark with the other 23 types on speed, intelligence, range, resilience, cultural impact and ecological role. They are relative editorial marks. Resilience high means more secure; low means threatened. Vulnerable globally; Farallones, Gansbaai and Neptune Islands aggregations are better counted than oceanic juveniles.
The order on the card is year, line, figure. Great white shark is not sorted by how much visitors like the photo. 1975: log Great white shark under “Jaws film” with 1975. Do not rank the species. 19751975
