About Bull Sharks:
Bull sharks live in both the fresh water and salt water found around the world. They seem to be able to live just about anywhere that there is a deep body water with plenty of fish for them to consume.

The bull shark is classified as number three on the list of most dangerous sharks in the world when it comes to attacks on humans. They don’t move very fast but they are certainly able to tackle their prey due to their sheer strength. They are unpredictable and that is what makes them so dangerous.

Bull sharks are extremely territorial which is why they often do attack people. They do migrate to follow the source of food but if it is plentiful they will remain in a certain area. This is quite unusual for a species of shark to do as most don’t call any particular part of the water home.

The bull shark eats other sharks, fish, turtles, sting rays, mollusks, and even birds from time to time. They aren’t picky about their diet so they will eat what is readily available.

Bull sharks are extremely large both in length and weight.  They can be approximately 4 metres in length and up to 500kg. Females being larger than males.
