It's not always a bull shark. It can be a great white. It can be a hammerhead. But, you're correct bull sharks are the usual attacker. They are attracted to light at night. Sharks in general do not have good eyesight. They think humans are their daily prey because they think we are turtles, seals, and other smaller creatures. But, we aren't. The shark drowns if it stops swimming. So it is hard for the shark to get its prey quietly. So, if you're at the beach in Brazil (has a lot of sharks there) and hear "SHARK!!!" it means that someone obviously saw the predator because the water is clear there. Psst! You might want to get out!

SHARK FACTS:

  • bad eyesight

  • more aggressive in murky water

  • a lot of sharks in the Bahamas

  • less aggressive in clear water
