How to Identify a Bull Shark | Raging Bull Shark

[@NatGeo]

Researchers have confirmed 100 bull shark attacks, but the real number may be much higher since the bull shark is so difficult to identify. What surprises you most about bull sharks?

[@michaeltowler2632]

Yes, hard to identify when you keep it secrete on how to.:))

[@jolyettefrye6365]

NOTHING .. Sharks r very dangerous .. It is what it is. 😏

Ya know it's kinda hard to identify their features underwater whilst having a panic attack seeing them up close

[@rugaothegreat]

well i have thalassophobia so i just need to be under water to freak out like that

[@sophia.lb95]

I saw maybe 7 of them over the course of two hours while swimming in Baja. One got about 5ft from us. You'd think you'd be scared of seeing one of them but if you're in a group just calm down and get as close to the sand as possible. Don't turn your back on it. Basically you're only prey if you start acting like prey

How to identify a bull shark: "Its just huge, big mouth and muscular" ... ok still dont know how that helps me identifying it, those are not realy unique features xd

[@jonatopik]

They forgot to add the part about how to identify it

[@kickinon]

1:04 you can see the massive jaw muscles, thats how you identify a bull shark, their mouths have insane amounts of muscle to back up their bite

[@lukapejkovic918]

Okay so I still don't know how to identify a bull shark, not gonna lie

[@subtomeandgetabsolutelynot4154]

lol me neither

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

Yeah, that wasn't much help, was it?

[@cocohotheatclips8264]

Big jaws and musculature

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

@@cocohotheatclips8264 Not so much when they're little. I am interested in sharks and own quite a few fossil teeth, but I have to admit it's difficult for me to distinguish bull sharks from closely-related cousins. A baby bull shark doesn't have that bulky look, at least to my eyes.

[@paleoph6168]

For me, I identify a bullshark by its small size (compared to bigger, more popular sharks) and broad snout.

[@odnine]

This will come in handy the next time i'm being attacked lol

A good way to spot a bull shark is its lack of fear. Black tip reef sharks may swim up to you and you have to kick them away, but you can tell its not an attack, just curiousity. But if a bull shark swims right up to you(and I have experienced this), you have better be ready to defend yourself.

[@rachel8904]

For a good reason. The are by far the most aggressive of all sharks. The original insperation for Jaws. That killer shark in 1916 was a bull shark.. I live near a bay. Plenty of them in there. It's brakish water (part salt, part fresh) It is the most common bite from sharks. The only thing good is that they are rather small for such an aggressive animal. 3-4 feet long. On occasion an orcas will come in at the entrance. The bull sharks high tail it out of there!. I think they are ore aggressive than the GW. No lie.......

[@kurapika4860]

Fun fact: bull shark has ability to swim across the river (freshwater) because bull shark has specialist kidney to rapidly process freshwater

[@NatGeo]

Thank you for sharing this intriguing fact! Stay curious.

That's why they're also called river sharks and swamp sharks. The swamps of Louisiana are sometimes feeding grounds to bull sharks

Bull sharks are the only sharks that can and will swim in both saltwater and fresh water.

[@expat74]

If I see a shark I do not stick around to try Identify what kind it is.

[@jlc5271]

sharks always see you, and choose to ignore you. you have nothing to be afraid of. Just don't swim at night or in poor visibility, murky conditions, where a shark won't be able to see you properly. you're still very unlikely to be bitten, but the probability is higher than usual, where it's basically 0

[@jlc5271]

ik it's a joke but they are not a threat to humans

[@marinegirl3847]

Last summer my friend and I were chased by a bull shark. At one point my friend ran out of breath. I turned to see the bull even closer to us. We were in knee high water at that point. Bull did not care how deep it was. He was four feet away. Of course I fall and could not stand up I kept sliding into a mini rut or something. Both of us were screaming. Not a soul came to help us. We raced out finally but both were barely breathing. It was by far one of the scariest things I had experienced. To this day I can remember seeing him. Water was clear. Where was it you ask? It was at huguenot st park in Jacksonville FL. Just north of st John's river. It was in July. Lifeguard on duty.

[@joeb2588]

I would have had a heart attack. If I didn't die from that, I'd be haunted daily for the rest of my life!

[@lasirenas1]

[@alextepe4309]

These sharks can end up in the most unlikely of places. Since they can survive in fresh water as well as salt water, they can swim up the Mississippi River and have been found as far north as Missouri.

[@sophia.lb95]

They been seen in Ohio and Illinois

[@Sun-God2]

They are also found in the Amazon's Rivers

[@waynemercer4546]

Been spotted in the great lakes

[@CJ-dg6uc]

Their is some living in a lake in an Australian golf course

[@AA-dn8dj]

Despite making up only 13% of the population of all sharks, Bull sharks are responsible for doing about 65% of all shark attacks on humans.

[@jlc5271]

which, you forgot to mention, is an incredibly low number. so it's not really significant due to a small sample size

[@skycloud4802]

They might come into contact more often with humans than other sharks considering their inclusion of freshwater range.

[@kek397]

It's economic factors, dude.

[@AdrianStalker]

Kinda like black people

[@ChadAtkinson]

The next time I meet a Bull Shark, I will be sure to ask it to do some nice angles for me so I can run through those tips It should be a really enjoyable experience!

[@jlc5271]

It will be a great experience. I saw a few when snorkelling in florida (florida shark diving) - you should try it

The only inkling I really have is they tend to be stouter and stockier than similar looking sharks of equal length, like whalers and reef sharks. Other than that they are a generic looking ground shark.
