The 2.75-metre great white Daisy has shown up again after going missing for a month. Rare conservation research has revealed the secret lives of great white sharks - live-tracking one on a more than 1000km round trip around the upper North Island. “A recent Niwa report shows 53 great white sharks were caught and killed in commercial fishing [over the past decade] - and that’s just what’s reported,” he said. Great white sharks are visual predators - they prefer to be in water where they can see their prey [food]. [They eat] kahawai at the surface, whereas stingrays or school sharks [great white prey] are bottom-dwelling.
