Is there great white sharks in Florida?

Answer 1

According to a NatGeoWild documentary on the world's deadliest ocean predators Orcas live in all oceans of the world including the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern side of Florida. Having been a Florida resident all of my life and living near the Atlantic coast I did a little more research because I have never seen one in the wild here. I have learned that it is not impossible... but they are generally so far off the Atlantic coast that your chances of seeing them would be rare. The killer whales are more frequently sighted in the Gulf of Mexico. Also, the North Atlantic Right Whales comes to the Atlantic coast starting in December for calving and are usually here until March. They have been called "false killer whales" in some whale watching circles. But, sightings are very rare because only 300-400 of them exist today and they are very endangered. If you do see one of them - please, report it!! They are not only big, but HUGE news in Florida and your report could help with research that could save them from extinction.

Answer 2

That's tough to say. They aren't truly native to Florida, but they have been seen in Florida and the Bahamas. Killer whales are probably the most widespread mammal after humans. They have been found in every ocean, but they prefer cooler waters. So, I wouldn't necessarily say that they are native to Florida, but seeing one in Florida wouldn't be considered unheard of.
