You probably already know that sharks live in water, but do you know which bodies of water??
The answer is that sharks live in all five of the oceans in the world – the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern. In some cases, sharks will also live in freshwater such as certain rivers and lakes. Sharks can live in warm or cold water, depending on the type (species) of shark. Sharks are also known to migrate and move around, so they don’t necessarily live in the same body of water for their whole lives.
The good news is that the majority (70%) of the ocean is shark-free, so you probably don’t have to worry too much about sharks in the waters where you swim.

Have you ever wondered how long sharks have been around?? Sharks have been swimming on earth for millions of years – since before there were even any dinosaurs!!
