    This species is more of a scavenger then anything else but obviously would be attracted by a badly injured person bleeding into the water - I suspect though these guys were busy feeding on drowned livestock and other waste in the flooded areas

    He was probably partially responsible for attracting them with his left over carcasses and meat scraps. :p

    This would be enough to send shivers up your spine if you were in the area, these are the third most deadliest Shark to attack humans after great whites and tiger sharks. They can live in both salt and fresh water.

    yes and the attacks that led to the Jaws movies was from a bull shark,at the time they thought it was a great white but it was a bull as one of the attacks and spots were in fresh water

    The first Jaws was by far the best, all the sequals were pure rubbish, I read the book before I saw the origional in 1975. It won't be long before we get the 3D high definition remake of this classic. :)

    You regularly see bull shark warning signs along the smaller river banks inland from Sydney, Dogs are also attractive bait to these sharks.
