The life cycle of a great white shark by Jayde

Firstly the female great white shark produces eggs. After that a male great white shark will fertilise the females eggs. Soon after that the eggs will hatch inside the female shark. To survive the shark pups eat the unfertilised eggs.

During this stage the shark pups are born. Then the pups learn to hunt independently while the mother abandons her pups. Finally the pups grow up to be adults.

When the adult sharks mate the female makes more eggs and the male fertilises the eggs and the cycle starts again. The life cycle of the great white shark has three stages egg, pup and adult.
