Is the great white shark warm blooded?

Yes, the great white shark is warm blooded. It is a member of the class Chondrichthyes which is characterized by cartilaginous skeletons, five- to seven-gill slits on the sides of the head and paired fins. Most shark species are cold-blooded, meaning that they rely on external sources to maintain their body temperature. However, the great white shark is one of the few species that are warm blooded. This allows them to stay active in colder waters and to hunt in deeper waters where the temperature is lower.
