No one has been able to keep a great white in captivity for much longer than six months. Bull sharks, however, can live in captivity for 25 years or more. In North America, you can see them at the Oklahoma Aquarium, which houses 10 bull sharks in a nearly 500,000-gallon tank. 6. LAKE NICARAGUA’S RESIDENT BULL SHARKS WERE ONCE THOUGHT TO CONSTITUTE A NEW SPECIES. Bull sharks are dark grey on the top, and white underneath. This makes it much harder to spot them whether you're swimming above or below them - which makes it much harder for you to escape if they're coming for you! 12.

Incredible Hammerhead Shark Facts Besides their oddly shaped heads, what else is there to a hammerhead shark? Their age determines where they live. Estuaries and freshwater habitats provide relative safety for young pups to develop. Here they’re out of reach from many predators, such as other shark species and larger Bull Sharks. As they get older, Bull Sharks develop more of a tolerance for saltwater and start venturing out to sea.The bull shark is also known as the zambezi shark. It should not be confused with the sand tiger shark ( Carcharhinus taurus), which is also called bull shark in other languages. It shows certain aggressiveness and tendency to live near populated areas, a fact that makes it an animal of care. THREATS AND CONSERVATION

Fowler, S.; Reed, T.; Dipper, F. (1997). Elasmobranch biodiversity, conservation, and management: Proceedings of the international seminar and workshop. Gland Switzerland: IUCN. Earlier this year, a man was bitten by a bull shark in the Swan River in Western Australia and left with critical injuries. It was the first time in half a century that a shark bite had taken place in that area. In the past 20 years, there have been two fatalities in rivers of the Gold Coast. It’s a surprisingly small amount considering how present bull sharks are in our river systems. Female bull sharks will move to more freshwater environments to give birth to her young, which develop in individual yolk-sacs inside her body.

Carcharhinus leucas, also known as the bull shark, is currently found along the coasts of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, India, and Australia. On the east coast of the United States, they can be found from the Chesapeake Bay south through the Gulf of Mexico and further southward to southern Brazil. On the west coast of North America, their range extends from Baja California south to Ecuador. ( "Carcharhinus leucas", 2009; Castro, 2011; Simpfendorfer, et al., 2005; Stevens, 1999) The color of its skin is light gray, and its belly is white. There is sexual dimorphism: the female is larger than the male, as the male commonly has a length of 2.13 meters and weighs 90-95 kilograms, while the female reaches a length of 2.3-3.4 meters and weighs 129-230 kilograms. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT A taste of freedom! Nine-year-old hostage enjoys first meal of schnitzel and mash and ice cream with his pals before the Israeli football team visit him in hospital to welcome him home after 49 days It is believed that as bull sharks grow, their tolerance for more saline environments increases. 5. Bull sharks and crocodiles aren’t the best of friends

Since bull sharks often dwell in very shallow waters, are found in many types of habitats, are territorial by nature, and have no tolerance for provocation, they may be more dangerous to humans than any other species of shark. [23] Bull sharks are one of the three shark species (along with the tiger shark and great white shark) most likely to bite humans. [6]

Borucinska, J., J. Caira. 2006. Mode of attachment and lesions associated wi They can vary the amount of salt that they excrete from their bodies depending on the body of water they are in. 2 4. The bull shark changes its tolerance to fresh water as it gets older Most fish have no control over how much salt gets removed by their kidneys, which is one reason why many species can only survive in either fresh or salt water. But bull sharks can actually regulate the amount of salt that goes into their pee, which means they can live in both environments. When they swim in the ocean, their urine is highly saline. And as they venture into fresh water, the kidneys work hard to retain salt—thus producing watery, diluted urine. (Bull sharks also use their rectal glands and livers to maintain the proper balance between salt and water.) 3. A BULL SHARK WAS ONCE CAUGHT NEAR ALTON, ILLINOIS. The reason why it is called “bull shark” refers to the short, sturdy form of its body that resembles a bull, and perhaps it is also due to its hostile behavior. It has a blunt snout, rounded and wide but not very long. It has two dorsal fins with a triangular shape, of which the second is visibly smaller but the tips of both are dark in young specimens. They do not have an interdorsal ridge.
