Is the great white an endangered shark?

Looks like this boy gets around, Megalodon. "This species inhabits coastal inshore waters from New Jersey (US) to Southern Brazil, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean and along Senegal and the Ivory Coast of Africa in the eastern Atlantic. There is some evidence that two separate populations exist within the western Atlantic Ocean; one in the Caribbean and one in the Gulf of Mexico. In the North Pacific the lemon shark ranges from the Gulf of California and Baja California south to Ecuador." Jul 30 04, 9:53 PM

The great whit shark is currently Vulnerable. The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, also known as white pointer, white shark, or white death, is an exceptionally large lamniforme shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans. Reaching lengths of about 6 metres (20 ft) and weighing 2,250 kilograms (5,000 lb), the great white shark is the world's largest known predatory fish. It is the only known surviving species of its genus, Carcharodon. They are also regarded as an apex predator with its only real threats from humans and at least in one incident the Orca. Although their diets overlap greatly, there are few reports of encounters between orcas and great whites, and they don't seem to directly compete with each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_white_shark [Added reference link - McG] Jul 12 07, 1:36 AM
