Bull sharks are located in tropical and subtropical bodies of water. They spend their time in a depth of around 30, but can exist at depths up to 150m near the coast. They occasionally occupy rivers (average depth of just 2.4m) and lakes. They can also be found in ocean inlets where saltwater meets freshwater, and are the only shark species that can tolerate prolonged periods in freshwater environments. Bull sharks will give birth in estuaries and their young will use the environment as a nursery. The young will remain in this estuary until temperatures drop seasonally, and the young move to the saltwater environs.
