They are tropical. When I was a kid, we would see them occasionally as the gulf streaam caried them north, Also the occasional hammer head shark, not seen this far north usually. Mako are common and, bw, are good tasting!
I was vacationing on Hutchison Island just above Port St Lucie Fla. We were in the ocean for a bit and then in the condo pool. We went into our condo and I turned on the news. A helicopter I had seen while I was in the water had videoed the ocean about fifty feet out from where I was swimming. Imagine my surprise when it showed twenty three hammerhead sharks circling just out of reach from where I was swimming. From above the water is transparent but at sea level you see nothing. I didn't do any more ocean swimming for the rest of that trip.
