The '''great white shark''' (''Carcharadon carcharias'') is a large carnivorous fish considered to be dangerous to humans. Although the average size of the shark is 13 to 15 feet, sightings of sharks 20 feet long and larger are common. According to the [[Guinness Book of World Records]], the largest great white ever caught was 37 feet in length. The only larger [[shark]]s are the [[plankton|planktivorous]] [[basking shark]] and [[whale shark]].
