MARTIN: Oh, yeah.
That'’’s a big one.
Definitely a shark.
But still the question, what kind of a shark would be in a fresh water river?
Uh, I know this.
I know this.
I know this... That kind.
MARTIN: But what kind is he?
Yes, of course.
It'’’s a bull shark!
CHRIS: Whew, that is one big beefy shark!
MARTIN: The bull shark, one of the most ferocious sharks of all.
CHRIS: There are only about five types of shark that will eat humans as prey.
Great white, tiger, Oceanic white tip, and mako, being some other human-eaters.
And don'’’t forget, there are over 400 species of shark.
MARTIN: Yeah, and of all those, the bull sharks are one of two shark species to swim up fresh water rivers.
And they can survive in fresh water forever.
Although, they do have to go back to salt water eventually, since most of their prey is found there.
Uh, is it my imagination or is it coming closer?
Do you think it'’’s called a bull shark because of how big and beefy it is?
Or is it their explosive personality?
CHRIS: Or because it charges like a bull!
(Both gasping, yelling) That'’’s it!
Ahhh!
Whoo!
CHRIS: Oh, he'’’s coming back!
BOTH: Wah!
MARTIN: Scatter!
