Description: The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a fascinating shark species that can be found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Along with the Tiger Shark and the Great White Shark, it is considered one of the dangerous shark species. Bull sharks can grow up to 350 cm in length and weigh around 230 kilograms. These impressive animals feed on a variety of prey, including mollusks, rays, crabs, bony fish, and even other sharks. A unique characteristic of the Bull Shark is its ability to survive in freshwater. In various regions of Africa, Central and South America, Bull Sharks can also be found in lakes and rivers such as the Zambezi, Mississippi, Amazon, Nicaragua, and Ysabel Lake. The low flight distance and self-confident behavior make the Bull Shark a fascinating yet formidable inhabitant of the seas.
