There are numerous species of sharks found in the Pacific Ocean; of these sharks, 36 [1] have habitat ranges throughout the coastlines and surrounding waters of California, as identified below. Identifications include common names; scientific names; the taxonomic rank, family; conservation statuses according to IUCN; and an image.
The thresher sharks have an extreme example of this tail in which the upper lobe has evolved into a weapon for stunning prey.
