Cousteau's Great White Shark

comments
1.After the bad luck in the Farron Islands Cousteau's team decided to move on to another area there called the Dangerous Reef.
2.The Dangerous Reef is known to have a huge population of great white sharks mostly because of the sea lion population in the area.
3.Right when they got there Rodney started to bait the area with his special mix of chum which is made up of whale oil and guts and blood of tuna.
4.While they were waiting that first day Rodney started to describe the moment he was attacked he said that he doesn't hate the animals for it but says they are beautiful creatures.
5.After that it was night so they all turned in. That morning they awoke to Rodney yelling "shark!" it was a eleven foot great white but sadly do to poor wheater conditions they could not film.
Questions.
1.What part of the whale does the oil come from?
2.What was the gender of the shark?
3.What does Rodney do other than study sharks?
4.How big do these sharks usually get?

I was surprised when I read that the shark was only 11 feet usually you only hear about the big ones.
