INTRODUCING BULL SHARKS Imagine swimming at the edge of a river and seeing a gray fin pop up out of the water—it’s a bull shark! While unusual, this does happen in certain large freshwater streams and rivers. Bull sharks are large, aggressive sharks that are known for swimming up freshwater rivers and streams that are connected to the ocean. While not as well known as their great white cousins, bull sharks are some of the most ferocious underwater predators in existence today. Sharks have been around since dinosaur times, and bull sharks have evolved to become incredibly good at adapting to the environment around them.

It’s hard to imagine seeing a shark fin in a lake or river, but it does happen.
