Is a bull shark harmful?
Bull sharks are extremely aggressive sharks who inhabit warm coastal and estuarine waters worldwide, and often range far up rivers into fresh water. They have been seen in the Mississippi as far north as St. Louis, and in the Amazon as far as 2,200 miles upstream. Most of the serious shark attacks in shallow water are by Bull sharks, as they tend to frequent the same areas that people prefer for swimming. Along with Tiger and Great White sharks, they are considered the sharks most likely to attack humans, and because of their preference for shallow waters they come into contact with humans more often than the other two, which are primarily marine species.

Why are bull sharks the most aggressive sharks?
The bull shark, also known as the whaler shark, Zambezi shark or unofficially known as Zambi in Africa and Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua, is a shark common worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in rivers. The bull shark is well known for its unpredictable, often aggressive behavior. Many scientists agree that since bull sharks often dwell in shallow waters, they may be more dangerous to humans than any other species of shark, and that they, tiger sharks and great white sharks are the three shark species most likely to attack humans.Unlike most other marine sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water. They can travel far up rivers. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of shark attacks on humans that take place near the shore, including many attacks attributed to other species. However, bull sharks are not true freshwater sharks unlike the river sharks of the genius. Once bull sharks smell human flesh and/or meat, they immediately go to where they are at. This also requires fish and other sharks.Thank You to all people that read and/or was interested in my answer.Good Luck with my answer!!:)Sincerely,Terrier23balls

I have no idea but Bull Sharks usually strike close to the beach where theres alot of people, while the Great white prefers to stay in deeper waters. I guess it's just their way of hunting.

There also have been a few kills, but this happens rarely because, like i said bull sharks are close to the beach, where humans have a better chance to escape due to shallow water.
