Understanding Bull Sharks

The video discusses three shark species that often attack humans: the great white, tiger, and bull sharks. It focuses on bull sharks, highlighting their size, ability to thrive in both marine and freshwater, and their aggressive nature. Bull sharks are found in rivers and coastal waters, where they hunt opportunistically. Research using Critter cams and satellite tags reveals their feeding habits and interactions. Despite their presence in human-frequented waters, the risk of shark attacks is low compared to other dangers.
