Do sharks swim in the Dead Sea?

Published in Marine Biology 1 min read

No, sharks do not swim in the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea's extremely high salt concentration (around 34% salinity) makes it uninhabitable for most aquatic life, including sharks. Sharks are marine animals adapted to saltwater environments, but the Dead Sea's salinity is far beyond their tolerance levels. Only some microorganisms can survive in such extreme conditions. Therefore, you don't have to worry about sharks when swimming in the Dead Sea.
