Notes

The Bull Shark, which frequents murky inshore waters, estuaries and even fresh water, is thought to be responsible for more attacks on humans worldwide than any other shark.

However they are not the bloodthirsty man-eaters they are often portrayed to be.They are actually quite timid and difficult to approach.
