(2021) Bull Sharks DOCUMENTED in Great Lakes?! [confirmed!] Lake Michigan & Mississippi River

Killer sharks in the Great Lakes?!

If your response is BS - you are right, but not the way you think you might be.
It's a commonly known fact that Sharks can only survive in Saltwater oceans.

But the next time you spend some fun time in the lake - don’t think about what I am about to tell you.

Not only can a certain species of shark survive and thrive in freshwater but it has found its way into many rivers and lakes.

Last Week we talked about “WHICH SHARKS ATTACK THE MOST” Great White Sharks and Tiger sharks being responsible for the most unprovoked fatal attacks on humans - but there is a 3rd specie - THE BULL SHARK.

Lets look at these guys, Most Aggressive, most attacks, and can swim in freshwater.

At a golf course in Australia there was a flood that temporarily let a river spill into one of it lakes. There is now a community of 6 or more Bull Sharks in this Fresh water pond on the golf course and they have begun to breed. You lose your ball in the water there - - I'm thinking you just leave it.

But the Bull Shark has the unique ability to Recycle the salt its body already contains which allows the bull shark to adapt to a freshwater environment.

bull sharks have been documented as far as 2,000 miles upstream in the Amazon River, a few hundred miles farther than the distance between Lake Michigan and the nearest saltwater. So it is theoretically possible for a bull shark to swim to Lake Michigan.
Let's go up the Mississippi! In 1937 a man caught a 4 foot bull shark in the Mississippi river in Atlon Illinois!
and there was even a documented Bull shark attack in 1955 in LAKE MICHIGAN.
How is this possible? If that story is true - that bull shark could have swam up the Mississippi river but would have to time it perfectly getting through the locks.

But what if i told you that Marine biologists and Scuba divers that study sharks have another plausible theory on how Bull sharks could end up somewhere in the Freshwater of the Great Lakes… They could become hitchhikers on Sea Freighters!

Say there is a freighter in Brazil or the gulf of Mexico where there is a bull shark nursery. And As they filled their ballast tanks they sucked up a small juvenile bull shark into their ballast tanks. And that shark was somehow able to survive the journey.

The Freighter makes its way thru the St. Lawrence River through water that would be far too cold for the shark to navigate on its own. And then when the Freighter gets to one of the Great Lakes and picks up cargo and Purges its Ballast tanks - it would be dropping the young bull shark off in its new environment. But how could it survive the journey inside the Ballast tanks.

Ballast water in tankers is one of the main pathways for most invasive species in the Great lakes.

That Means - the Ballast tanks wouldn’t just pick up a lone Juvenile Bull shark. The Ballast tanks would more than likely have lots of sea life to provide the Shark company or rather a food source for it to live on during his trip up the East Coast - thru the St. Lawrence Sea way into the Great lakes to drop off the hitchhiker.

But tell us what you think. Do you think it is completely far fetched or do you think Bull sharks can come that far north. We know they are driven to travel upstream in Freshwater passages. and we know they will attack humans unprovoked. Tell us in the comments below and we would like to have you as a subscriber.
