The great white shark is a kind of shark, and their life span is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, great white sharks can live up to 70 years old. There will also be longer-lived great whites, which can live for about 100 years. Great white sharks have such a long life span, which has a lot to do with their immune system. Biologists have found that great white sharks have a very strong immune system, so they usually do not get sick. Not only the immune system, but also their wound healing ability is stronger, so their recovery speed after trauma is faster.
However, although great white sharks have a relatively long life span in principle, there are many factors that affect their life span. For example, great white sharks living in captivity may have a shorter life span than those in the wild. In fact, this phenomenon is reflected in many captive animals. In addition, marine pollution can also shorten the life span of great white sharks, which are prone to disease; In addition, human hunting will shorten the life span of great white sharks.
As mentioned above, the life span of the great white shark is relatively long, and the age at which they enter adulthood is relatively late. Generally speaking, it takes at least 10 years for a great white shark to become an adult, and some great white sharks take longer to become an adult. Specifically, we can see their size, when their size is basically to the average size and no longer grow, it means that they are basically adult. There is also the age of their sexual maturity, male great white shark sexual maturity early, generally around 10 years old; However, the age of female sexual maturity is relatively late, generally at least 12 years old, or even longer.
