- zabzonk 5y agoMost sharks live in warm (ish) waters.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoIs that true? There are polar and temperate sharks, and I know from my local diving there are quite a lot out even when temperatures are around 7-10 degrees C. I suppose most of the type I see are less glorious varieties about the size of my arm, but sharks nonetheless.
- zabzonk 5y agoOf course - basking sharks, and greenland sharks, for example. But I did say "most" and "warmish".
- pkdpic_y9k 5y agoMaybe to sharks the air is the real water.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoIt was back before the dinosaurs took to the air and banished fish to the oceans
- steve_adams_86 5y agoWow, this shows that Australia has as many shark species as several oceans combined! Haha, what a cool place. https://www.shark.ch/Database/Distribution/index.html https://www.shark.ch/Database/Distribution/index.html You're right though, warmer waters tend to have more species. I'm not able to find anything indicating actual numbers of sharks, but more species (correct me if I'm wrong) seems to indicate a larger cumulative population and more and/or more diverse prey In another life I'd love to be a marine biologist. There's so much to know and understand better.
