That's a bull shark. They have tracked them moving between the lakes and the ocean. Any river that leads to the ocean could be home to bull sharks. It's not a new phenomenon. Look for matawan creek, new jersey
I thought all the lake sharks were dead. I went to Nicaragua in 2009 and did research and all the literature said that most of the sharks were gone an that only VERY RARELY does anyone see them. While on the Isletas boat tour my guide told me some people have seen some on the far side of Ometepe and he saw one a few years ago. How often do Nicas see them?
These Freshwater Sharks Have Lived Since Millions of Years Ago In Lake Nicaragua and are around an island called Ometepe and are rarely seen on the islands.
THESE SHARKS ARE UNIQUE IN THE WORLD AND IT'S PROOVED BY SCIENTISTS
@rvc1998 No no bad information. They are just bull sharks that swim up the river from the Caribbean sea, its been on TV countless times...they actually have video of the sharks jumping up the rapids like Salmon. They are just common old bull sharks found in every major freshwater drainage in the world. More You Tube misinformation..that's why it is always best to look things up.
some people upset because the language of the people on the boat if anything that made me feel good about this video to see the people actin all lively haha. stop whining man if someone will judge someone else they're going to do it regardless if they're being themselves or not. they're called "racists"
bullsharks do occur in freshwater everywhere but this is probably their most unique habitat, also home to the endangered sawfish. And yes it is very unsafe to swim in bullshark territory. This species is responsible for the highest number of attacks on humans.
way a second i was born a rised in NIcaragua until my earlies 20 I used to lived 3 blocks from the great lake and always used to see los tiburones por las mananas cuando yo corria por la costa ellos se reproducen ahi y son adoptados al agua dulce ,actualmente vivo en CANADA y nunca he oido nada de tiburones en MICHIGAN i live 2 hours away from lake Michigan and never hear such thing of tiger sharks here.
It burn me up too when I hear some of my counrtymen talking in such vulgar way. Who listen to them will get the idea that all nicaraguans have that kind of remarkable bad education. Please don't form an opinion like that.
This is the first time in my life that I hear there other places where you can find sharks in fresh water besides Nicaragua, but I wouldn' bet on that.
bull - I don't think Tiger's can spend too much time in Freshwater like the bull's can. I have been to Nicaragua a few times and seen them first hand. A few years ago someone was bitten in Lake Michigan by a bull.
you can pretty much tell these people are pure nicaraguans by the way they can't finish a whole sentence without cursing or insulting someone...Te extrano Nicaragua!!!
Hardly. Bull sharks swim up the USA's Mississippi. A verified bullshark was caught in Anton, illinois (North of St. Louis). Bullsharks are also regular denizens of the rivers of Afica's east Coast . In South Africa they are AKO Zambezi Sharks for their penchant to swim up the Zambezi River. Bullsharks are very common in Zulu Land's freshwater St. Lucia Inlet. Many attacks on humans blamed on the Nile crocodile are Bull shark attacks. Bullsharks have been caught 2,000-miles up the Amazon.
is it really that hard to believe that there just might be something so different and special in Nicaragua just because its a third world country. I am from Nic. and have gone to Granada enough times to say its not frickin bullshit!
This video is a fake. Whenever a shark swims at the surface, exposing its front dorsal fin, you can see the caudal lobe of its tail breaking the surface as well. That fin in this video was a poor fake at that.
its the real this man this happend a long time ago theres 1000's of sharks in fresh water lakes in nicaragua i've seeen them my self i'm from there.its not a joke its pretty bad ass
must be a bull shark. that's the only shark I know of that can tolerate fresh water. they are also found in the mississippi river in the united states. Its a very dangerous shark.
No one put a shark in there its a natural occurrence a few animals can actually swim into the lakes or river's for years at a time and go back to the salt water.
No one put a shark there. These are fresh water sharks. Nicaragua is the only country that has these. They moved into the lake from the ocean and became adapted. There are very few in the lake.
No Nicaragua isn't the only place where Bull Sharks will swim into fresh water lakes and rivers (via the rivers from the sea) India, USA (up to Lake Michigan sometimes! ) , Australia, Brazil (4200 KM up the Amazon) , amongst others. I believe they can survive indefinitely in fresh or brackish water, however it is believed they must return to salt water to breed.
@Chrstn64sails I watched a video in here I think on dangerous river creatures where they caught newly born young bullsharks in a river. they were quite shocked at that.
@Chrstn64sails You are right but nicaraguan sharks are the only one that dosent have exit to the ocean, the other sharks guet into lake but then leave in Nicaragua theres no way out for sharks also in Nicaragua there is another fish that belong to the ocean "The Sword Fish"
@Chrstn64sails The sharks in Lake Nicaragua they believe can now reproduce in the lake making it not necessary to return down the river. They have to jump back up the river like salmon.
man i may not understand what you guys are saying in spanish but you nicas do speak funny ass hell you guys are awsome people and that is why we americans love going over there
The bull sharks have been responsible for attacks and sightings in rivers(including the Mississippi).The Ganges River shark, Zambezi River shark, and Nicaragua freshwater sharks all believed to be bull sharks.

I agree. It reminds me of the movie Jaws when the kids were playing a prank floated a fake shark fin in the water. The guys in the video are even laughing.

Nicaragua isnt the only place where there lives fresh-water sharks. The bull shark is adapted to fresh- and saltwater. They have been found several thousand miles up the amazon aswell. But Lake Nicaragua is the only place where bullsharks live their full life-cyclus in fresh water. Reason for this is the reagents unique geographic location. The lake was once part of the ocean, and thus species got "trapped" after earthquakes, while the waters changed to fresh water slowly over thousands of years
Where did all the salt go?? Most oceans that get cut off and turned to lakes go the other way and turn super salty like the dead sea or even dry up altogether and become salt flats.
This little freshwater stream thing connects to the ocean at some point. Bull Sharks can take in fresh and salt water and are known for swimming down freshwater cannals connecting to the ocean.
the only shark capable of surviving in fresh water and adapting its physiology to fresh water is the bull shark. it's one of the most deadly also and it is believed to actively predate on human beings in rivers such as the ganges.
@chrisdef15 It is also said since these sharks reproduce in freshwater and live most their lives there, if you put them in salt water they die, so it happened to the Japanese when they went there
In Africa they get inside the river Nile, but they don't reproduce them-self, here in Nicaragua they reproduce them self, is the only part in the world ( check a map of Nicaragua) and they actually live there they don't go out to the sea.
