: The Bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a large, aggressive species of shark that is commonly found in coastal waters worldwide. With a stocky body and a short, blunt snout, they are easily distinguishable from other shark species. Bull sharks are known for their ability to inhabit both saltwater and freshwater environments, making them one of the few shark species capable of surviving in both types of water. They are opportunistic feeders, preying on a variety of marine life including fish, turtles, and even other sharks. Due to their aggressive nature and tendency to inhabit shallow waters close to shore, Bull sharks are responsible for a significant number of shark attacks on humans. Research shows that Bull sharks are capable of surviving in a wide range of water temperatures and salinities, allowing them to thrive in diverse ecosystems.
