Best Answer

Yes. They usually prefer warm oceans and seas around the equator and spanning upto the tropic of cancer on one side and the tropic of capricorn on the other. They dont live in cold waters and so, do not have the need to migrate. However, they have been known to swim up rivers. They can survive in both salt and fresh water and have been spotted in both rivers and oceans.

a bull shark can live in freshwater because there gills can adapt to salt and freshwater:)

However, they are not a purely freshwater shark and must return to the ocean once in a while.
