Bull Shark Fish Picture: Carcharhinus leucas

This shark is one of the most dangerous sharks on the planet. It is known for its erratic and often aggressive behavior. This combined with the fact that they can tolerate salt and fresh water and are found in shallow waters makes them all the more dangerous.

Bull Sharks get their name from their short, blunt snout along with the fact that they have the habit of head-butting their prey right before they attack! Only the Great White and Tiger Shark are considered to be more dangerous than the Bull Shark, but this fact is still up for debate as the number of documented shark attacks rise around the world.

Also known as the Nicaragua Shark or Zambezi Shark is one of the most common sharks in the ocean and is found all around the world in waters normally no deeper than 40 meters. They can live up to 17 years in the wild.
