The website you can go to to find this story about great whites is http://www.popsci.com/node/30212 . This page was made on December 11, 2008. Wow, that was just a few days ago, 6 days to be exact.
There is three vocabulary words that I am not very sure about they are:
1. Teeming- be full of or swarming with.
2. Slaughtered- killed for food.
3. Delicacy- the quality of being delicate, in particular.
This article is about how Anderson Cooper went to Cape Town, South Africa to go see great white sharks sense they are so hard to find and follow. Great whites are not very known to scientists. In fact no scientist knows how great white sharks mate and give birth. All this was last August. Anderson had spent a week there doing all this. They wanted to get as close as possible to the great whites, and they teamed up with a shark expert named Mike Rutzen. The sharks were being killed for their fins which was used to make shark fin soup which is a particular dish in Asia. One great thing about the great white sharks is that they are a top predator in the sea, but if they disappear, the entire underwater ecosystem will be affected. So people need to stop killing them for soup.
What I think about this article is that it is a good story about Anderson Cooper when he went to Cape Town, South Africa to study great white sharks. To find more information about them. He wanted to get up and close and someday I want to do the same thing. I believe it would be really fun and awesome to see a great white in the ocean someday. This article tells the cold hard truth of how people can be so harsh to the ecosystem by killing animals that could soon hurt the others, including us.
