Bull Sharks Upriver
Loading...
Uploaded by NationalGeographic on May 18, 2007
A swimmer in the waves off a beach is attacked by a shark --- it's a frightening scenario. But in India, the victims aren't in the ocean ... they're waist-deep in a river.

@kewlboy567 the idea for the movie jaws was inspired by great white shark attacks at the new jersey coast around 1916.

@Sangre777 They're not permanent residents, they watched them jump over a small dam that separates the lake from the ocean. Bull sharks need saltwater to live, or else they die.

Sometimes aggressive? NO bull sharks are the number one attackers on humans.
Temporarily in fresh water? NO bull sharks are known to be permanent residents of some lakes.

The idea for the move jaws come from a Bull shark attack in a river.
