The samples of the great white sharks' blood revealed "alarmingly high levels of poisonous heavy metals, like arsenic and mercury" the report said. Great white sharks - one of the ocean's most fearsome apex predators - thrive with toxic levels of poisons flowing in their veins, according to a new study by OCEARCH. The samples revealed "alarmingly high levels of poisonous heavy metals, like arsenic and mercury, in sharks' blood," says the report. However, for now the report warns that humans should worry about how white sharks are being poisoned to such extremes. What the study doesn't show is whether toxins in white sharks are going up, says OCEARCH.
