Great White Shark Taxidermy full body mount - Carcharodon...

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a cartilaginous fish of the Lamnidae family. The sole living representative of the genus Carcharodon, this shark is the largest predatory fish currently on the planet, as well as the third largest fish of all time, after the whale shark and the elephant shark. The term Carcharodon comes from ancient Greek karcharódōn (composed of kárcharos, meaning "sharp", with odóntos, meaning "tooth"). Karcharías, on the other hand, means "shark", from which the final meaning is deduced: "shark with sharp teeth". The mouth of the great white shark is equipped with several rows of teeth: triangular and serrated on the upper jaw to shred prey, long and pointed on the lower jaw to spear and hold the prey. Exceptional central lower tooth. Dimensions: 52.1 mm × 33 mm. Perfectly defined serration, enamel glossy of very high quality, tooth completely free of imperfections. Very beautiful! A must-win auction. Sale only within the EU
