there are only three sharks that
regularly attack humans the massive
great white the Swift sleek tiger and
the often ignored but dangerous bull
shark
my kite house from florida international
university studies the bull probably get
the name bull shark as they’re so big
and stocky I kind of think of it more as
the pit bowl of the scenes it’s a
fitting description bull sharks can be
tenacious and aggressive they’re not as
large as the great white but female
Bulls can grow to over 11 feet and weigh
up to 500 pounds they also have one very
special characteristic one of the most
amazing things about these bull sharks
is that they go from marine to fresh
water with no problems Bulls have been
found thousands of miles upstream in
both the Mississippi and Amazon rivers
they also are believed to hunt in the
same shallow coastal waters where
unsuspecting beachgoers frolic in the
summer
there are also opportunistic hunters
they’ll eat just about anything
my question no more about bull sharks
and their feeding habits so he’s
attached critter cams to the sharks
underwater cameras equipped with
satellite tags ones ready Oh Sean nice
boys that’s exactly what we need
the critter cam reveals at least one
other bull in the region which raises
the intriguing possibility that these
sharks may be interacting it also
suggests the bull shark may be a
keystone species which means they may be
a critical influence on the structure of
the ecosystem satellite data also
confirmed that the Bulls stay put never
venturing far from where the team caught
them that’s more proof that these
animals may be an important part of the
coastal environment but in regards to
sharks and us it show that bulls do like
the hunt and hang out in the same
shallow waters we flock to you every
summer ultimately though it does us all
good to remember that you are more
likely to get struck by lightning than
bit by a shark
you
