Range and Habitat
Bigeyed sixgills are likely found worldwide. So far they have mainly been found in the Caribbean Sea, the west-central Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the western Pacific Ocean. These sharks live near the sea floor between 90m and 600m, but may move closer to the surface at night to take advantage of the food that gathers there. They make their home on continental shelves, insular shelves, and upper slopes. These sharks do not inhabit abyssal environments.

Famous quotes containing the words range and/or habitat:
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
