We all know that sharks are expert hunters but did you know they are also good biters? Great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) have a group of muscles in their jaw that allows them to have strong bites no matter how wide open their mouth is. New research has shown that sharks may not be born with this expert biting ability and that it might actually develop over time. This study showed that teenage great white sharks are awkward biters because their jaw muscles haven’t developed to the point where they can hunt large prey.
