Why do bull sharks attack humans?

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 eyesightmore aggressive in murky watera lot of sharks in the Bahamasless aggressive in clear water


Do sharks eat bones?

No, sharks prefer to eat other fish, seals and penguins. They don't like humans and we know that because so many people survive a shark bite. If the shark liked how we tasted, they'd eat the whole person and not just take a bite out of them and swim off.


Is a seal a predator and prey?

Seals are the favorite food of many predators. Sharks, killer whales, and polar bears are three of the largest predators of seals. Polar bears hunt for seals by finding the places where the seal is hiding on the ice, and pouncing on them. Sharks can hunt seals by hiding very deep in the sea, and rushing upwards when they see a seal overhead. Humans sometimes hunt seals too.
