Many habitats, many sharks

Different shark species live in very different places. Some stay close to coral reefs, some cruise the open ocean, some rest on sandy seafloors and some live in deep or cold water.

Part of the food web

Depending on the species, sharks can be predators, mid-level hunters or scavengers. They are one part of a complex ocean food web rather than all being top predators.

Frequently asked questions

Sharks live in oceans all over the world, from warm shallow reefs to cold deep water. Each species is suited to particular conditions.
Do sharks and sea turtles live together?
They share many of the same tropical and coastal waters, so it is realistic to draw them in the same scene.
