There are more than 150 different kinds of sharks. All of these live in salt
water, except for one species. In Central America there is a lake calledLake Nicaragua, and there is a fresh water shark that lives there.
Actually, sharks do not live in any one "spot", because they wander hundreds of miles looking for prey. Most big sharks are generally found living near the surface in the open sea. But there are some that live deep down at the ocean bottom. Smaller sharks usually live near the shore, and they are found in most warm and temperate seas around the world.
Most people think of sharks as very dangerous creatures. The truth is that some sharks are quite dangerous to man, and others ate harmless. For example, the sharks that often follow ships are harmless scavengers, hoping to pick up food from the ships. Even small fish are not afraid of these sharks.
This is also true of some very big sharks, that is, unless they are attacked. One of these is the whale shark. This shark is found near the Cape of Good Hope and in the Mediterranean, Pacific, and Caribbean right up to Florida. It may be over 11 metres long and weigh more than 13 tonnes.
The other "safe" big shark is the basking shark. It is the biggest fish of the North Atlantic, and is over 13 metres long. It likes to bask in the sun with its back partly out of the water.
But the most dreaded of all fish is the great white shark, which is sometimes 12 metres long. It definitely attacks human beings.

Sharks are found in all oceans of the world like from Arctic ocean to Antarctic oceans. However, some critical reports suggest that 70% oceans of the world do not have sharks. In fact the chances are that all of the oceans can have sharks. There are some rivers and lakes where sharks are also found. It is interesting to note that there are almost 368 species of sharks and they are distributed in all oceans of the world. In the waters of British Columbia 12 species of sharks are found. Similarly, white sharks are found in US west coast, Mako shark are found in US- Mexico border to Washington and Blue Shark live in west coast of Mexico to Canada.

Well to be honest with you I think that sharks live where ever they can because of all the types of sharks there are in the world there really isn't one spot that a shark calls it's own so all over the world.

The Bull Shark (one of the most dangerous kinds) has been found in the Amazon river. So, some sharks can live in fresh water.
