Description: Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas). Together with the Tiger Shark and the White Shark, the Bull Shark belongs to the dangerous sharks. It often stays in the shallow water near the shore and in the estuaries of rivers. A specialty of the Bull Shark is that it can also live in fresh water. In Africa, Central America, and South America, it is found far into the heartland of lakes and rivers. The Bull Shark is a sturdy heavyweight, found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. It has a low flight distance and approaches a diver directly and self-confidently. Bull Sharks feed on molluscs, rays, cancers, bone fish, and sharks.
