The Bull Shark - a Fascinating Resident of Tropical Waters (00003132)
(8)
Description: The Bull Shark, also known as the Zambezi Shark, is a dangerous shark species found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. One of its unique features is its ability to survive in both saltwater and freshwater. Bull Sharks are known for their bold nature, often approaching divers with confidence. With a length of up to 350 cm and a weight of around 230 kilograms, they are truly impressive creatures of the sea. Their diet consists of mollusks, rays, crustaceans, bony fish, and even other sharks. Unfortunately, the populations of many large shark species, including the Bull Shark, have declined by 99 percent in the North Atlantic since 1970.
