Your information on the bull shark is incorrect. See he

"One of the more dangerous shark species, accounting for the third
highest number of attacks on humans"

In the order of attacks on people...

(1) Great White Shark
(2) Tiger Shark
(3) Bull Shark

This is the old theory, the latest figures has placed it number one in
the US, and now believed to be number one though out the world. Although
the tiger and whites "kill" more people the Bull attacks more.


# Constitutes only a small portion of the commercial shark fishery


These guys are over populating the beach areas.

You must remember shark attacks are bad news for the Florida economics,
they want to down play the threat as much as possible, since great
whites and tigers don't roam the beaches of the gold coast, them
claiming the bulls are less of a threat than these two , so come on
down, and swim with the bulls.

My information was from the Discovery Channel, and the latest studies
done on shark attacks.

This Florida page also stated that bulls "may" live in fresh water,
there is no "may" about it, they do live in fresh water, and have been
caught up the Mississippi river as far north as St. Louis, and the live
in fresh water lakes in Central and South America.

I wish to correct my other post when I was saying pointers, I was
meaning Atlantic sharp nose sharks, we just call them pointers because
of their sharp nose, sorry about that
