Bull Shark
Carcharhinus leucas
Bull sharks inhabit warm coastal waters, estuaries, and rivers, and can travel far into freshwater. They are opportunistic predators that eat fish, rays, crustaceans, turtles, birds, and other available prey. They often hunt in murky, shallow water using strong senses and sudden bursts of speed. A notable adaptation is their ability to regulate body salts well enough to survive in both marine and freshwater habitats.
