"Field observations are impossible, because the water is very murky and filled with lots of very large bull sharks and saltwater crocodiles, in addition to [highly poisonous] box jellyfish," he said.

"If we tried to dive there, our life expectancy would be measured in minutes. The only question is which animal would kill us.

One of a handful of sharks you WILL NOT find me in the water with. Un-freaking-predictable. Bulls, Ocean White-Tips, Blues, and open ocean Tigers.

I think it is the bull shark that has been found miles and miles up into rivers and somehow adapting to the fresh water.

Yep. They've been found all the way up in Indiana in the Ohio River. :laugh2:

They also live in the freshwater's of Lake Nicaragua. They literally swim up stream in rapids like salmon do to get into the lake. I saw a show on them on I think NatGeo.
