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. Beaches in Brazil are full of Bull sharks and in the past few years around 40 have been atacked on the same beach. 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.
