The white shark is a fearsome preda- 

 tor, well adapted to live in cold water, 

 where food is more abundant. It is 

 far from a "primitive" cold-blooded fish 

 but is actually a highly evolved warm- 

 blooded animal.

White sharks do not swim aimlessly; 

 they increase their odds of finding seals 

 by looking in familiar areas where they 

 have previously been successful. The map 

 shows the movements of a white shark 

 tracked during October 21-29, 1993, 

 around Southeast Farallon Island, using a 

 transmitter swallowed by the animal.
