Do sharks live in cold, or hot temperatures in the water?

Answer 1

You will find sharks in both cold and warm water.

However the main concentration is found in warm temperate waters close to shore, as you move out to open water and further north/south towards the poles you will find less and less species.

They also live at just about every depth. Again the bulk being around shelfs and reefs and less the deeper you go.

Side note, they still believe there are a large handful of deep water shark species that have yet to be discovered.

Nice people are found everywhere. The best surfing beaches are in the southern States but they can get cold in the winter, If you want to be hot all year round then the tropics are for you - but you won't find much surf. Northern NSW from Coffs Harbour to Tweed Heads has many magnificent beaches with good surf and most have few people on them. There are plenty of towns to choose from. Southeast Queensland is good too but some beaches are very crowded and the Gold Coast is a bit tacky (in my opinion anyway, lots of people like it). I wouldn't worry about the wildlife. There are some dangerous animals in Australia but they won't bother you. In the northern tropics you get crocodiles and box jellyfish but if you are sensible, neither is a problem. Shark attacks are very rare. Snake bites are rare and deaths even rarer. 95% of people bitten by snakes are trying to kill the snake. I've never seen a funnel web spider even though I lived in Sydney for thirty years and redbacks, although common, will not bother you if you don't bother them. By the way, nowhere in Australia averages 47-49°C. Most summer temperatures average between 27° and 33°C. The highest ever recorded in Melbourne was 46.4°C in February 2009. The previous highest was 45.6° back in 1939.

Answer 4

There are many species of shark. Large to small, local to ocean going, beach to open seas. Most species prefer warm waters. Most species that live off America's Pacific coast never travel any further north than Oregon in the summer. Many are classified tropical or subtropical. Shark tracking studies have shown that shark rarely go deeper than 1000 feet.

So, to put actual numbers on all this. Sharks are considered warm water species. Temperature preferences would be between 18C and 35C or about 66F to 95F.

Answer 5

Sharks are found all over the world, from the icy waters of the Arctic, to the warm waters of the tropics, and even in some freshwater rivers and lakes. Sharks cannot stand large changes in temperature. So sharks that like cold water stay near the Arctic, while sharks that like warm water stay in the tropics

Answer 6

Most specimen prefer cooler temperatures, that's why very few/or none at all, show up in Hawaii. There are some sharks in Florida, and some are really adapted to warm temperatures. However, they are not adapted to changing temperatures.

Answer 7

I live in Mt Macedon, and it's rather nice here. However, there's no beaches, a lot of trees, and it gets reeeeaaaally cold in winter. We also occasionally get snakes. The people ARE nice, however. And the girls are very well, thank you for asking. You got the animal thing amazingly right. Find a dangerous animal, it's probably from here. But in my whole life I've only ever seen one red-back spider. Huntsmen aren't dangerous, either, so they're a bit of a non-issue. No reason at all to be paranoid.

Answer 8

You have the correct answer. To give you an example, the Great White prefers cooler waters but on ocassions has shown up down here in Fl.

Answer 9

Both.
