Description
Bull shark is one to the most dangerous sharks species, sometimes mistaking boats or humans for prey. Together with the Great white shark, bull sharks were blamed for a famous series of attacks along the Jersey Shore in 1916, which were the inspiration for the novel "Jaws" and the feature film of the same name. Humans are also dangerous to these sharks; they are hunted and commercially harvested for their oil, skin, and meat.
