Does the great white shark have sharper teeth than whale shark?

No, whale sharks have thousands of tiny teeth (approximately 300–350 rows of teeth) but they rarely use them. On the other hand, the great white shark has approximately 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows.

Although the whale shark has more teeth than the great white shark, the great white shark has much sharper teeth. The whale shark's teeth are small and conical, while the great white shark's teeth are large and triangular. The great white shark's teeth are also serrated, which means they have small notches along the edges that make them even sharper. These serrations help the great white shark to cut through the flesh and bone of its prey.
