Pelagic sharks are a group of shark species that inhabit the open ocean, away from coastal areas. They are known for their streamlined bodies, which allow them to swim efficiently in deep waters. Common examples include the great white shark, tiger shark, and hammerhead shark. These sharks are typically found in warm and temperate seas, where they hunt for fish and other marine animals. These sharks play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as apex predators, helping to maintain the balance of ocean life. They are highly migratory, often traveling long distances in search of food and suitable breeding grounds. Due to overfishing and habitat loss, many pelagic shark species are now threatened or endangered.
