TITLE
Meet four great white sharks who visit Guadalupe island every year. The scars on their bodies make the four sharks easy to tell apart.
Sharks have a very strong sense of smell. Their nose is covered in sensory cells. Great whites can detect the smallest bits of blood in the water. In fact, it can smell a single drop of blood in an Olympic sized pool! Unlike most sharks, great whites have good eyesight too.
