Carolina has 52 front teeth plus another 4 rows of teeth lined up behind. Her bite could probably have thrashed into two a large dolphin. Nevertheless the remains in her stomach indicate that her prey were not always bitten into pieces, the 'verdesca' and the turtle were swallowed whole.

To rubbish the record, many experts have got down to work.
Many claim that if the shark in the photo had been 7 metres, long the man beside her must have been at least 2 metres. “The same people who today contest the sizes, had for years supported the measurements. They had also written about it. They took to task the only photograph saying it was deceptive in visual terms” replies Jon Abela.

There could exist according to the researchers (the Dr. Randall of the University of Honolulu) a relationship between the dimension of a shark's teeth and that of its length.
“This applies to white sharks up until a certain size” says Jon Abela. “Above 15 feet the size becomes allometric and therefore the calculation between the teeth and the total length no longer applies. This is my reasoning and is supported also by Mollet and Klimley in their book on the white shark”
