Bull Shark
Bull sharks are aggressive, common, and usually live near high-population areas like tropical shorelines. They are not bothered by brackish and freshwater, and even venture far inland via rivers and tributaries.
Bull sharks get their name from their short, blunt snout, as well as their pugnacious disposition and a tendency to head-butt their prey before attacking. They are medium-size sharks, with thick, stout bodies and long pectoral fins. They are grey on top and white below, and the fins have dark tips, particularly on young bull sharks.
Fast, agile predators, they will eat almost anything they see, including fish, dolphins, and even other sharks, humans are not on their list, but they will attack humans if they are in their view.
Bull sharks currently are not threatened or endangered. However, they are fished widely for their meat, hides, and oils, and their numbers are likely shrinking.
Bull sharks have been found thousands of miles up the Amazon River.
In a group they are named a school or a shoal,they also live up to 16 years.
