Great White Shark
Great White Shark
Product #:
8061
Brand:
Ray Caruso
Description:
The
great white shark
is a streamlined swimmer and a ferocious predator with 3,000 teeth at any one time. This much-feared fish has a torpedo-shaped body, a pointed snout, a crescent-shaped tail, 5 gill slits, no fin spines, an anal fin, and 3 main fins: the dorsal fin (on its back) and 2 pectoral fins (on its sides). When the shark is near the surface, the dorsal fin and part of the tail are visible above the water. Only the underbelly of the great white shark is actually white; its top surface is gray to blue gray. This is useful in hunting its prey. The great white usually strikes from below and its grayish top coloration blends in with the dark water, enabling it to approach the prey unobserved.
This remarkable scrimshaw etching of a great white shark, done by master scrimshander, Ray Caruso, is on a large piece of fossil Woolly Mammoth ivory which measures 9" X 3". It sits atop a custom Black Walnut base and seemingly swims over a fossil great white shark's tooth. Imagine this in your collection. It's a one-of-a-kind work of art to be treasured.
