Bull Shark

It is assumed to to up to 70 years, but measurements have proven difficult, particularly with the increase in killing and threats to the population.

The largest shark ever to live was megalodon, Upto 67 ft long.

i have no clue which species live in lakes

because of the yellow (lemon) and brown skin it appears to look like a lemony yellow color.

Sharks do not sleep

No they would survive but soon they wont be able to breath because they would be used to breathing salted water so they would die.

Around age 4, but age may vary

Some species, usually the smaller ones, can exist in captivity and have for many years. Usually they are for scientific study or in aquariums. The type of water, warmth, and food must be carefully matched to the natural conditions to give the best chance for continued survival.

No. Bull sharks are solitary predators. Isolated cases of a pair of bulls hunting together have been known. Otherwise, they dont live or hunt in groups. They feed on anything and everything that is smaller than them and can fit in their mouth.

Yes

A full grown bull shark can be around 10 to 11 meters in length. They can weigh over 320 kilograms or 700 pounds in weight. There have been cases of giant bull sharks that are as long as 13 meters in length. Such animals may weight well over 700 pounds.

Great white. The great white shark has the ability to raise its body temperature higher than the surrounding water (often called warm blooded for this reason, though not actually warm blooded), bull sharks cannot. For this reason alone, the metabolic rate of the great white as compared to a bull shark of equal size would result in the great white being able to exhibit greater strength.

the fin usually its some times used to make soup

A Brown Banded Bamboo Shark has the unique ability to survive for 12 hours out of the water if it gets stuck in shallow water during low tide, until the next tide comes in.

Typically, bull sharks ARE murky water sharks but it is not likely you will find them that far inland. Rivers and estuaries near the coast are prime spots for the bull shark. Main concerns in Jordan Lake are the snakes.

Depends on if you're talking to tackle shop or ski shop owners in Richmond and Windsor just trying to take the mickey outta out-of-towners.....in that siuation....yes....poor buggers....

No one has accurate answers to this question. Since the GW population is so migratory and also so isolated from one fish to the next, it is impossible to pick an animal and follow it. However, scientists studying GW's off the Farallon Islands (currently one of the hotbeds in the world for GW research) have identified by dorsal markings several individual animals and one, Stumpy, so named because she is missing the top portion of her caudal fin, has been observed returning to feed for 18 years. Is she an old shark? A young shark? No one can say for sure.

I don't know but about 100 meters go look on another website or something like shark.com

No. The only sharks that can live in fresh water are bull sharks, and it's too cold for them live in the Canadian river.

I found this information at www.sharkinfo.org on the Bull Sharks fact sheet: Bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) are found in tropical and subtropical waters almost everywhere in the world, whereby they prefer to live close to, or even in rivers. They belong to a minority species, capable of living in sweet water as sexually mature individuals. They are thus found in various rivers such as the Mississippi, the Amazon or the Zambezi. In the Mississipi river they are found all the way up to Illinois, and in the Amazon as far inland as 3,500 km. But whole populations, not just single individuals, also live in such sweet water lakes as Lake Nicaragua or Lake Isabel in Guatemala. Their capability of tolerating varying saltwater levels means they can also be found in brackish water systems, like the Indian River System near Cape Canaveral (Florida). Bull sharks often live so long in sweet water that their metabolism adjusts to the missing salt.

I'd say there's a http:/skool.com of sharks in the James river. don't go swimming in the water!

There are no sharks in the James River. It's perfectly safe to go swimming in.

While the previous entry states there are no sharks in the James River, and while I have never personally seen any sharks in the James River, I have found evidence of sharks in the Appomattox and James Rivers. I grew up in City Point, of Hopewell Va. It is a peninsula made by the convergence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. As a boy, I fished on the Appomattox River bank quite often. I would find shark teeth on the river bank, it was quite common to find shark teeth. So, if there are no sharks in the Appomattox and James Rivers, then how did the teeth get there? We were told as youth they were dog shark teeth. The teeth were definitely shark teeth and were about 1inch long. Supposedly the dog shark is the most common shark around. Here is a link regarding such a shark.

THIS IS THE CASE:

I live in Prince George VA and commonly FOSSIL hunt on the James. These sharks teeth you have found are simply FOSSIL teeth. Modern living sharks have white teeth. Some teeth fossilize white due to the minerals which seep into the original during the fossilization process. This entire area was a sea from the Eocene era to the end of the Miocene. Mega-toothed sharks such as Carcharodon megalodon (Megalodon, the largest to ever live, with up to 7" teeth), Giant makos, and extinct forms of Great White, Tiger, and Mackerel shark teeth are just a few species that can be found in this area. Also saltwater crocodile teeth and dermal scutes, sea turtle shell fragments, whale bone, as well as many invertebrate species that colonize coral reefs can be found. The thing is, they are all FOSSILS. Sorry to shoot down the idea of sharks in the James (I wish!!!).

Another note: Bull sharks can survive and breed in fresh water, however the temperatures at this latitude are not temperate enough for them, even in ocean waters.

Actually Bull sharks roam the shallows off of Nags head and Virginia beach and has claimed victims from both. Please feel free to use google. Secondly ive been catfishing all my life including in the james river, most recently, mainly once about 5 years ago I saw a 60 pound blue catfish with incredible girth a formidable predator that the james river is known for, with a very large set of bite marks that were too clean to be anything but sharp teeth, and too wide to be anything in fresh water, no pike or gar, still have the picture as proof. None have been seen but does not mean they are not there, since i seen that fish i havent been in the water even while handling fish, used to swim as a kid.

further note: Not to mention a large 9 foot bull shark was caught 311 miles up the mississippi river. the epicenter of the james river is only 150 miles from the ocean.

A full grown bull shark can be around 10 to 11 meters in length. They can weigh over 320 kilograms or 700 pounds in weight. There have been cases of giant bull sharks that are as long as 13 meters in length. Such animals may weight well over 700 pounds.
