This is because the sharks first dive and just shoot up at their prey with incredible speed, so much speed that they jump out into the air. So imagine an impact at that velocity! I won't be surprised if great whites are so scarred.Raptor's Nest (old)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11093451947295359924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6868618319990879375.post-2027711297262024282007-04-18T22:54:00.000+00:002007-04-18T22:54:00.000+00:00Wonderful question.

Part of the answer is that such pictures sell; there are few things more impressive than a great white coming at you, full gape. <BR/><BR/>Also, when these pictures are taken the photographers haven't just happened across a shark; they've attracted them to the boat with chum and fish bits, which could add to the blood in their jaws/on their face.<BR/><BR/>Further, the sharks often bump or run into the boats/metal cages which could be the origin of some of the wounds on their noses. <BR/><BR/>Even contemplating prey, white sharks feed primarily on pinnipeds, armed with teeth and claws. While the public image is that sharks are 100% efficient and ruthless killers, this is certainly not the case, and if catching a seal or sea lion involved no harm white sharks likely wouldn't roll their eyes back to protect them when biting. Thus, many have scarred faces and may even have open wounds. I also have to wonder about the role of parasitic infection in shark mouths, but I don't know enough to say if it contributes one way or another.<BR/><BR/>Like you said, some pictures have bloody jaws and others do not; it probably depends on a lot of factors, although I would like to see if there was a global trend, i.e. Californian great whites having more bloody faces or jaws than their South African or Australian counterparts on account of prey choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
