Bull Shark Comes to Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific
29 mar 2007 | Source: DiveSter
Not to be outdone by a Great White shark up north, the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific is proud to announce the arrival of its newest member in the Shark Lagoon exhibit: a Bull shark. The only one of its kind on the West Coast, the two-year-old measures four feet long and weighs in at 45 pounds. Adults can grow to eight feet in length and a beefy 300 pounds.

Bull sharks are considered more deadly than great whites (you watched Shark Week didn't you?) because they attack at will and troll shallow waters where humans play. Adapted for salt and freshwater environments, they can be found in river systems such as the Mississippi and even lakes.

The Shark Lagoon exhibit is open daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Visit the Aquarium of the Pacific's web site for ticket information and directions.
