Bull sharks head-butt their prey before attacking it. They got their name from this tendency. Bull sharks are found in coastal waters all over the world. Unlike many other sharks, bull sharks can survive in fresh water for a surprisingly long time. Occasionally they even migrate to inland lakes.
Bull sharks hunt both during the day and at night. They are fast and agile and they eat anything that comes their way. The list of their prey includes large fish, dolphins and even other sharks.
Bull sharks prefer to occupy shallow coastal waters where they can come in contact with humans. Though humans are not on their menu, they are known to attack humans time and again. This might be out of curiosity. The number of bull sharks is steadily declining as they are hunted heavily for meat, hide and oil.
