Great White Sharks are ovi-viviparous, meaning they give birth to live pups after internal fertilization takes place.
Once the young are born, they are released into nursery grounds or specific areas of the ocean where they must fend for themselves. Unlike other species, Great White Shark pups are not raised or cared for by their mother. They are independent from the moment they are born and are responsible for finding their own food and survival.
Deep Blue, as shown in the picture below, is a remarkable example of a Great White Shark who has thrived without the care of her mother for at least 50 years. Similarly, her own pups are not raised by her and must navigate their own path in the ocean.
