One key identifiable feature of a great white shark is its size and shape. Great whites are large and have a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body that allows them to swim swiftly through the water. They can reach lengths of up to 20 feet (6 meters) and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms). Additionally, they have a conical snout, a large gaping mouth with rows of sharp, serrated teeth and a distinctive dorsal fin that can be seen protruding from the water's surface.
