Are there any sharks in the great lakes?

To the best of my knowledge, there are currently no sharks in the Great Lakes.

In theory, some species of sharks, such as the bull shark, could thrive in the Great Lakes, but their introduction is unlikely with the series of locks and dams in place.

Bull sharks can make it all the way up to the great lakes but they are only looking for food and there currently is an abundance of Asian carp which should keep them in the rivers.

However, the Great Lakes are very cold and it is unlikely that Bull sharks can survive in there for too long, in addition to them not bring truly a freshwater shark species.

What types of sharks live in the sunken titanic?

None- it's way too deep for any sharks to live in, lying at 2.5 miles down on the bed of the Atlantic.

No shark is capable of diving to such extreme depths, let alone living at them- their swim-bladders would simply burst due to the extreme pressure. There have been reports that giant squid are capable of attaining such depths, but they would not live in the area where the Titanic wreck is as the water is too cold for them.

The type of marine life found in and around the wreck of the Titanic is small, consisting of grenadier fish, certain types of spiny starfish, angler fish, various forms of deep-sea coral such as sea-pens, and other species that are adapted to cope with the extreme deep.
