Some sharks are. There are 400+ species and plenty of them live near coasts or the bottom.
- Arnt 4y agoOh right, in theory I knew that. Sorry. But have the non-pelagic shark species survived any climate changes that would force them to migrate across a large inhospitable area? Sharks have survived very long as a group, but it's not clear to me that most/all of the individual species that have existed still do.
