The Bull Shark, like most sharks, has a countershaded colour scheme. In essense, this means that the top side of the shark is a different colour to the bottom side. What this means in terms of camouflage, is that when viewed from above, the dark colouration blends into the dark colours of the waters below the shark. And when viewed from below, the light colours of the shark's belly blend into the bright colours emanating from the sky. The shark is thus able to use this to sneak up on it's prey.

This is quite interesting because over the billions of years that these animals have been in our oceans, they have adapted to life in incredible ways that truly make them the alpha hunter. They have actually created a so-called 'shading' technique that enables them to become somewhat invisible to the untrained eye. They are darker on the top so when potential prey looks at them from above, they blend in with the sea below them. Under their bellies, they are white so that when they are looked at from below, they blend in with the sun light shining through the water (or moonlight, depending on TOD).

Sharks like many predators have camouflage to help them blend into the environment making them more efficient killers. Great White sharks, for example, have white on their bellies and grey above. If a great white shark was swimming above its prey, the white underbelly would blend in against the sunlight hitting the surface. The grey color of the top-half of the shark helps it blend into the darker color of the ocean. Similar to a tiger with vertical stripes that blend into the tall grass.

The Great White Sharks have bodies that are usually gray. They can camouflage into their surroundings because the water is dark, so they cannot be seen easily.

They don't. Bull sharks are apex predators and therefore have no enemies in their natural habitat.
