In the Indian Ocean, it lives in waters from Vietnam, Australia, South Africa, and Kenya. They can also be spotted in the Pacific Ocean. These sharks are migrants and sometimes can also be found in rivers and freshwater lakes.<\/p>\n<p>If the waters are moderately deep and relatively warm, the bull sharks will stay for a while before moving on. The Caribbean Sea is the perfect retreat for when the female bull sharks want to give birth, they usually choose the warm waters of the reefs around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/riviera-maya\/playa-del-carmen\/\">Playa del Carmen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What do bull sharks eat?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A bull shark will eat oysters, small fish, turtles, and even other bull sharks. Rays, seabirds, mammals, and shrimp are all also on the menu! In Africa, even young hippos have been preyed upon. Just like their name suggests the shark attacks the prey by head-butting it initially before biting.<\/p>\n<p><b>How many teeth does a bull shark have?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bull shark teeth grow in rows. Each row has about seven teeth, and there are around 50 rows of teeth in the jaws. Making a total of around 350 teeth in the mouth when fully equipped.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9157 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1-1024x595.jpeg\" alt=\"female bull shark in playa del carmen\" width=\"1024\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1-1024x595.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1-300x174.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1-768x446.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1-1536x893.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/bul-shark-photo-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Are bull sharks dangerous for people?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Apart from accidentally biting surfers( under low visibility conditions the sharks confuse the silhouettes of people with seals for instance), sharks are not dangerous to humans. We are not part of their diet, so unless we make them feel threatened they will just swim around you in a curious and playful way. Having said this, recent scientific research has shown that bull sharks have a stronger bite than the great white shark with enough force to lift approximately 1,300 lb (600kg!).<\/p>\n<p>For many years the Ko&#8217;ox team has safely conducted non-baited dives with them without having any unfortunate incidence. Don`t miss our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/guide-to-diving-with-bull-sharks-in-playa-del-carmen\/\">ultimate guide to diving with bull sharks in Playa del Carmen, Mexico<\/a> so you can know more about them.<\/p>\n<p><b>How big do bull sharks get?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A typical male bull shark\u2019s length is around 7ft (3.5m). A female may reach almost 8ft (4m). The largest bull shark ever reported was about 13 ft (7m) in length. Weight varies according to length \u2013 from 200lb (90kg) to 300lb (130kg) depending on whether females are pregnant. Bull shark size is relevant to males and females as the male is longer and lighter. The females are shorter and heavier.<\/p>\n<p><b>Can bull sharks live in freshwater?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bull sharks can live in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They have a special gland that enables them to get rid of excess salt in the sea or to conserve it in rivers, lakes, and streams. The kidneys and liver automatically adjust to cope with the amount of salt present in the water.<\/p>\n<p><b>How long can a bull shark live?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A healthy male bull shark lifespan is around 13 years and 17 years for females but records indicate that 25 years can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are bull sharks a threatened species?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bull sharks are still hunted for their meat, oil, and skin. Recreational and sports fishing are also contributing to its decline and as the increase in popularity of keeping bull sharks in aquariums. Due to migratory traits the bull sharks are affected by pollution and getting caught in fishing nets. This could be potentially damaging to the population of the bull shark. These hazards all contribute to them now being classified as a near-threatened species.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4034 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bull-shark-playa-del-carmen-2018-1024x452.jpg\" alt=\"bull shark playa del carmen 2018\" width=\"1024\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bull-shark-playa-del-carmen-2018-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bull-shark-playa-del-carmen-2018-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bull-shark-playa-del-carmen-2018-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bull-shark-playa-del-carmen-2018.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Dive With Bullsharks Dive in Playa del Carmen Dive with Ko&#8217;ox<\/h2>\n<p>Bull Sharks are one of the most beautiful creatures in the ocean.
