A fearless diver observes the majestic Bull Shark in the waters of Fiji (00020994)

Description: The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a fascinating yet dangerous species of shark, ranking among the likes of the Tiger Shark and the Great White Shark as one of the most threatening. This predator is capable of living in both saltwater and freshwater environments, and can be found in tropical and subtropical waters across the globe. With an impressive length of up to 3.5 meters and a weight of over 200 kilograms, the Bull Shark is not only large in size but also displays a bold and assertive behavior. Divers have reported awe-inspiring encounters where the Bull Shark approaches them directly, showing no fear. During my time in Richards Bay/Zululand/Natal, I heard of numerous incidents involving the Zambezi Shark, as the Bull Shark is known in that region. Bull Sharks feed on a variety of prey including mollusks, rays, crustaceans, bony fish, and even other sharks.
