How can bull sharks can survive in freshwater?
Salt water fish are taking in saltwater constantly, drinking the water and excreting salt. That is why most cannot survive in freshwater; they are still excreting the same amount of salt but not taking in the same amount. This causes their condition to steadily deteriorate, usually resulting in death.
Most saltwater fish cannot survive in freshwater, however, there are fish that can survive in fresh, brackish (an even mixture of salt and fresh water), and salt water. They biologically adjust to which ever water they happen to be in at the time. Some sharks like the great white, tiger and, yes, the bull shark, fall under the category of fish that can survive in all water conditions.

How does the teeth of a bull shark relate to its diet?
Bull sharks have sharp, serrated teeth that are well-suited for their carnivorous diet, which primarily consists of fish, marine mammals, and even other sharks. These teeth allow them to grip and tear flesh efficiently, facilitating their role as apex predators in their ecosystems. Their ability to adapt their feeding habits also enables them to thrive in both salt and freshwater environments, enhancing their dietary opportunities.

Why are great white sharks deadly?
They are significantly larger than most other kinds of sharks and swim in similar areas as humans. Their common food choice is seal and humans, especially when on surfboards) are similar looking from the mind of a shark. Sharks often do not mean to kill their victims but only intent to see whether they are seal of not through a process called 'test biting'. However, their massive jaws leave bites too large for humans to survive. This is also why humans are not often eaten by sharks and usually bleed out before they can get to a hospital. Hope this helps.
Recent evidence shows that white sharks often will hit a prey item, administer a lethal bite, then wait for the prey to die, to avoid injury from struggling victims. Most humans are pulled from the water rather quickly, so the shark sometimes has no time to consume the victim. Human remains have been found numerous times in white shark stomachs, so the "mistaken identity" theory may be incorrect.
How does the great white shark's skin and snout help it find its prey?

Sharks don't eat humans. This is a misconception. The common fear of sharks are a result of false media depictions, which portray the shark was a bloodthirsty, man-eating machine.
Countless people swim in hundreds of oceans around the world each day, even in places where sharks thrive. But fatal shark attacks only occur 5-9 times each year. Soda pop machines kill more people that sharks (13 people annually)!
When a shark attack occurs, it's usually a result of mistaking the victim for a seal, a typical shark meal. It's bewildering how few people are killed by sharks each year, considering how much we look like shark food!
Even though sharks kill 5 people yearly, we kill over 10 million of them in return. We have been on earth for a period of only 100,000-200,000 years. Sharks have shaped the oceans for 450,000,000 years! In the past 100 years, we have wiped out about 90% of the shark population and pushed it's species to severe endangerment, due to over fishing and shark finning. But we have the power to stop it - and if we don't do something soon, it is predicted the shark could go extinct.
