Is a Great white Shark considered part of the Lateral Line System?

Answer 1

The Great White Shark has a Lateral Line System.

The LLS is a series of fluid-filled hair cells along the flanks of the fish's body. These cells will undergo a mechanical change when a vibration comes into contact, thus delivering a signal to the animal's brain informing it that there is a stimulus along coming from a point on the side of the signal felt on the skin.

Just about all fish possess a LLS. There was just a little confusion with what you may have though the Lateral Line System was. It is just an additional sensory organ that fish use to help hunt food and/or survive against predation.

Answer 2

Depends. If a shark were to fight a croc in the croc's home, the crocodile would win. Great whites cannot maneuver well in shallows and were meant for deep ocean. It would be clumsy and slow, to say the least, and might drown. If the crocodile would fight the great white in open ocean, the shark would win. Not only is the shark faster, but it's also built for open water, and can better turn and swim than the croc.

Answer 3

I think you're confusing terms... the "lateral line system" is actually *in* the shark. The shark isn't part of any system called the lateral line system... The lateral line system runs down the longitudinal length of the sides of the shark's body and allows it to detect electromagnetic signals in the water - aiding in prey capture.
