Fewer great white sharks left than tigers, warns expert

FEWER great white sharks are left in the oceans than there are tigers surviving on Earth, it was claimed yesterday.

The two top predators are almost equally under threat, but the plight of great whites needs more recognition, according to Canadian expert Dr Ronald O’Dor.

Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting in San Diego, he told how the discovery was made by colleagues from the Census of Marine Life.
