An article published in the journal “Scientific Reports” describes an analysis of fossil teeth of great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) discovered in various locations, including what used to be a nursery in today’s Chile where there were mostly very young individuals. A team of researchers led by Jaime A. Villafaña of the Institute of Paleontology of the Austrian University of Vienna analyzed the fossils of individuals of various ages including the ones discovered in Peru and another location in Chile concluding that great white sharks used some areas as nurseries for millions of years. This behavior stresses the importance of certain habitats for the survival of a species known among today’s top predators and yet considered endangered, above all because of humans.
