Is there great white sharks in america?

Answer 1

While very rare, there have been recorded Great White Shark sightings in Puget Sound. The last recorded sighting by a fisherman near PointDefiance South of Vashon Island. The shark was hooked by the curator of the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. The shark was said to have been in the twenty foot range. Prior to that was the 1998 finding of a dead White shark near Blake Island, North of Vashon Island. While the water is similar to that of San Francisco, Puget Sound is home to a large number of Orca (Killer Whales). The Orca use the Puget Sound area waters as birthing grounds. The Orca is the only known enemy capable of killing Great Whites. It is believed that the Orca's keep the Great Whites out of the inland waters of Puget Sound. Great Whites, Makos and Blues have also been reported off the Pacific Coast of Washington state and into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. This is believed to be the extreme northern range of these species.
