A remarkable characteristic of the Bull Shark is its ability to adapt to freshwater environments. They are present in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide and exhibit a low flight distance, often approaching divers with confidence. These impressive creatures can grow up to 350 cm in length and weigh around 230 kilograms. Their diet includes mollusks, rays, crustaceans, bony fish, and even other sharks.
