Description
Summary:INST: L_200 My goal was to compare two marine apex predators, the killer whale and the white shark, with an emphasis on their predatory habits. I start by defining the term ‘apex predator’, followed by a literary review of the two species, examining their taxonomy, feeding habits and hunting strategies, social structure and communication, habitat and migration, and conservation status. The comparison of the two species reveals very significant differences, as well as some surprising similarities.
