Answer:
Great white sharks are seldom prey because of their formidable strength and razor-sharp teeth. The young of a great white are cannibalistic when they hatch within the womb, and when released have seldom been observed in the vicinity of mother sharks.
Great white populations have been observed to leave and to avoid areas where predation has occurred: one great white death seems to induce them to seek safer waters. Orcas can sometimes kill a great white by inverting it into an immobile position, causing it to suffocate due to loss of its gill functions.
