Here's a breakdown of their habitat:
* Oceans: Primarily in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.
* Coastal Waters: They prefer waters close to the shore, particularly near seal colonies and other prey.
* Depth: They are commonly found in waters ranging from the surface to about 3,900 feet (1,200 meters) deep.
* Water Temperature: As mentioned, they prefer cooler waters, typically those between 50°F and 70°F.
* Specific Habitats: Great whites often frequent areas with rocky reefs, kelp forests, and other areas with high prey density.
They are known to migrate long distances, following prey populations, and can even tolerate colder temperatures in some areas during specific times of the year.
