Distinctive Features

Bull sharks are very robust-bodied and have a blunt, rounded snout. They are lacking an interdorsal ridge. The first dorsal fin is large and broadly triangular with a pointed apex. They have a significantly smaller second dorsal fin. The pectoral fins are also large and angular. Bull sharks have relatively small eyes as compared to other sharks. This would tend to indicate that vision may not be as important for their survival. This may be due to the often reduced visibility in the waters they frequent.

Coloration

Bull sharks are light to dark gray on the top, fading to white underneath. On younger Bull Sharks the fins have distinctive black tips which eventually fade to a dusky color as they age.
