a perfect murder machine that's never once been bred in captivity, because it refuses.
means The great white shark, a large predatory fish found in coastal waters worldwide, named for its pale underbelly and feared for its size and bite.
from A plain English compound — "great" for its formidable size and "white" for the pale belly that flashes as it rolls to strike, contrasting the gray-blue of its back. The shark's older name is the "white shark" or "white pointer"; "great" was tacked on to mark it the largest of the white-bellied predatory kind. Its scientific name, Carcharodon carcharias, comes from Greek karcharos, "jagged" or "sharp," and odous, "tooth" — quite literally "the ragged-toothed one."
