Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

As you are all familiar with, the fact that Great white sharks have sexual dimorphism, which means that females are usually quite larger than male counterparts.
The "largest" great white shark (agreed by scientific community) would be Ledge Point 1984 with a female of 597 cm TL, which is, don't get me wrong, HUGE.
But what I am about to say may sound weird, I actually think there might be 2 larger MALE sharks both measured and have good enough remains saved to be considered "reasonable".

In Alessandro De Maddalena book, Mediterranean Great white sharks. There is one individual in particular that caught my eye. It's a 620cm TL great white shark caught by Italian fisherman.

The both weight given and sizes of pectoral fin and caudal fin seem to correspond to the given measurement.

Therefore, the largest female and male great whites are about the same size?
