The bull shark, also called as the Zambezi shark, is known to inhabit both rivers and oceans.

They are euryhaline, meaning they can tolerate a wide range of salinity and can thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

Bull sharks have been found far up rivers, including the Mississippi, and even in freshwater lakes.

They have unique physiological adaptations that allow them to regulate the salt concentration in their bodies.

These adaptations enable them to survive in freshwater where other sharks cannot.

They are often found in shallow coastal waters, making them more likely to encounter humans.

Bull sharks are known for their aggressive behaviour and have been involved in numerous shark attacks.

They often give birth in freshwater, and young sharks may spend several years in these protected environments before venturing into the ocean.
