How does a great white shark capture its prey?
They are ambush hunters. They take their prey by surprise from below. They usually hunt early in the morning before the sun rises fully, when the visibility is poor. They usually come up fast from below and attack an unsuspecting prey that is at the water surface. During such attacks, the prey may be thrown off from water, with even the shark making a jump out of the water. Sometimes, when an injured prey starts to escape, they are known to chase and finish the hunt.
Do bull sharks eat sea otters?

What color is the eye of the great white sharks?
"Under conditions of low light, iris muscles contract to dilate the pupils (those of many deep-sea sharks are permanently dilated, to capture what little light flickers in their realm of perpetual darkness); under high light conditions, the iris muscles relax and the pupil contracts. As unimpressive as this may seem to humans, accustomed to having their pupils dilate and contract continually, realize that no teleost fish can do this - which explains why most bony fishes always seem to be staring blankly into next week. Pupil contraction can also increase a shark's visual depth of field (range of depths that are in focus), in much the same way as we can extend our focal range under harsh light conditions by squinting.
Although many sharks have eyes with slit-like pupils, those of the Great White appear dark as buttons of onyx. Yet if one looks into the eye of a living individual from up close, internal structure can be discerned. The pupil is circular, the iris dark and ringed with a spectral hint of midnight blue. Although the eyes can be rotated within their sockets, when relaxed and not obviously tracking an object, a White Shark's eyes seem to be oriented forward and down. This orientation may explain why these animals often cruise past a caged diver slightly above his or her eye-level: the better to visually inspect the strange, bubbling biped." -Elasmo Research
Have sharks ever been trained?
No, sharks are simple creatures that act totally on instinct, and could never be trusted.
Another OpinionI'm not of the opinion that a shark is a simple creature. I would consider an earthworm simple, but the most efficient and deadly predator that has ever lived can hardly be called simple. They have extraordinary senses and an amazingly keen sense of smell. They have a special sense of detecting muscle movement in fish by their sensitivity to electromagnetic waves. Though they may have a small brain, that little brain has to do a lot of complex processing in order to interpret all that sensory information and produce behavior that ends in a successful feeding. They may be simple compared to a rocket scientist, but I challenge any rocket scientist to go underwater and hunt down their dinner with only their senses.How long can a bull shark grow?
Female bull sharks have a longer lifespan of about 16 years, compared to 12 years for males.

They reach full size and sexual maturity at around the age of 10. Since they are elusive creatures that havent been studied extensively, not much is known about them.

This is not written with not absolute certainty.
Sharks of any kind don't hunt people for food, most of the times they are confused and mistake people for something else (if you think about it it's normal cause our place is not in the water). Usually sharks tend to bite a person after which they leave him cause actually we are not that tasty to sharks. But that's no good excuse to swim with the sharks :P
It could be possible if the shark is desperately hungry to try and intentionally attack a human.

Kayaking is fun, some people say, but not for people without arms. As bull sharks have fins and not arms, they are unlikely to ever kayak. Therefore, kayaking with bull sharks is not feasible.
