Great White Mating Mystery

Scientists don't know where, how, or when great white sharks mate in the wild because they have never seen it happen. Even after decades of research and tracking efforts around the world, no confirmed mating site has ever been found for the species. Researchers have inferred parts of their reproductive process by studying other sharks, but key behaviors like courtship and mating remain undocumented. This has left one of the ocean’s most famous predators guarding a major biological mystery.
