Fascinating encounter with impressive Bull Sharks at Shark Beach in Walker's Cay (00003088)

Description: The majestic Bull Sharks, also known as Zambezi Sharks or Lake Nicaragua Sharks, show great interest and quickly approach. These predators are on the hunt for food at Shark Beach in Walker's Cay, the northernmost of the 700 Bahamas Islands. While they are usually seen in pairs, a group of 20 individuals has been spotted here. Bull Sharks, alongside Tiger Sharks and Great White Sharks, are considered dangerous species. One unique feature of Bull Sharks is their ability to thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They can even be found in lakes and rivers in Africa, Central and South America. Bull Sharks are robust swimmers found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. With their low flight distance, they can swim confidently towards divers. Their diet mainly consists of mollusks, rays, crabs, bony fish, and even other sharks.
