Originally it was thought to be a separate species but it actually is the bull shark which is known for swimming up rivers. Bull sharks have been known to attack people many miles up the Mississippi and other world rivers.

Bull sharks tagged in the lake have been found later in the Caribbean and vice versa. I forgot the river's name the sharks swim up. hope that helps.

Because of the Sandinista revolution in 1979, presided by Daniel Ortega, who ruled the country with an iron fist. This government started confiscating properties, imprisoning anyone who was against there socialist beliefs. They stole companies, farms, lands, houses and put you away in prison just because a person was wealthy, or "burgueses" as they like to call people with affluential people.

What happend in nicaragua after anastasio somoza fell from power?

well after Somoza fell from power the FSLN took over Nicaragua for 21 years. During that time many families including mine left Nicaragua. since everyone was leaving, mostly the wealthy, there homes and belongings were taken away by the communist government the FSLN. My family was also affected, we lost houses, cars, offices, schools, and even small things like clothes, refrigerators, ovens, shoes, jewelry, pictures, TVs and even lamps. Before the war Nicaragua was one of the riches countries in the western hemispheres and was one of the U.S. strongest allies. Everything was going great until the a democratic president came to power here in the US, Jimmy Carter. He turned his back on Nicaragua after 40 years of being allies. Carter also turned many countries against Nicaragua; like Mexico, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. After the war Nicaragua was no longer the breadbasket of Central America it was the second poorest country in the western hemisphere and it still is. And all because of jimmy carter, he even threatened Israel, he kept an Israeli cargo ship from arriving to Nicaragua to help Somoza. And you know what his excuse was it was that he wanted to see if there were civil rights in Nicaragua, he was worried that Nicaragua would over power the U.S. But he didn't worry about communist China or Russia or Cuba. he was after Nicaragua and do you know what he left; he left poverty and communism, people had to make lines to get food. the Nicaraguan government took people's homes so that they can give it to other people.

let me tell you something if you Google Somoza all you're going to see is a bunch of U.S. hate filled articles if you really want to know how Nicaragua used to be you need to ask someone who was really there. i don't know every detail because i wasn't born there and I'm not from that time, but people like my family and from that time do know what happened
