Bull shark, (Carcharhinus leucas), species of large predatory shark found in shallow coastal lagoons estuaries, and harbors in tropical and subtropical oceans and seas worldwide. The bull shark is one of only a few shark species also capable of living and breeding in freshwater environments. Bull sharks have been found in Lake Nicaragua, several hundred kilometers up Africa’s Zambezi River, and nearly 2,300 miles up the Amazon River in Peru. The bull shark is recognized by its blunt snout, large dorsal fin, pale to dark gray dorsal coloration, and white underside. The species is aggressive, and bull shark attacks on people have been recorded. The bull shark is a large active predator. The biggest females can reach 13 feet in length and weigh as much as 700 pounds. Males are slightly smaller, growing to a length of 11.8 feet. The species hunts in coral reef areas and nearshore waters less than 98 feet deep to prey upon other fishes as well as seabirds, marine turtles, and marine mammals. However, it can also consume crustaceans and scavenge garbage and waste disposed of in rivers or at sea. Adult bull sharks are harvested in fishing operations, but they have few natural predators. Young bull sharks may be eaten by other sharks and by crocodiles. SH024
