If bull sharks were eliminated completely, 50-60% of shark attacks would stop.

Nasty, and mean, they can swim in brackish water and move into freshwater steams most sharks can’t enter.

Yep.

Glad I am there’s several tall dams on the Potomac in between me and the sea.

Bull sharks might be able to swim the Potomac it I’m pretty sure they can’t jump 30’.

Staying outta the river, just in case.

The Bull shark was the only shark I was afraid of when diving. The Whites stay away in the summer due to the high water temperatures. All sharks can bite, and even so-called docile sharks have attacked divers, but rarely. In fact, despite a large number of shark bites a few years ago, no diver was bitten. Surfers and swimmers were at greater risk. But the Bull is another matter. I dove in regions where they are predominant, and some divers had shark billys, and our dive master carried a bang stick. They are really dangerous. Floated at the top edge of a coral wall in the Persian Gulf. The wall went from about 5 meters down to 100 meters. It was amazing to see, especially with all the moray eels popping out. I floated there and watched three or four hammerheads swimming below me. I actually felt sorry for them. Pakistani fishermen were illegally catching them, cutting off the fins, and throwing them still alive back into the water. Without the fins, a shark drowns just like a human. Our boat master called the Saudi Coast Guard equivalent and chased them away.
