Bull shark

The bull shark is a large, powerful species known for its robust body and broad, flat snout. It can thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments, often traveling far inland in rivers and lakes. Measuring up to 11 feet and weighing around 500 pounds, bull sharks are predatory and aggressive, feeding on fish, dolphins, and humans. They have a keen sense of smell and use their strong jaws and sharp teeth to catch prey. Found in warm coastal waters worldwide, they are among the most dangerous sharks to humans due to their temperament and habitat proximity.
