Mangrove Swamp Shark Encounters

The video explores the frequent attacks in the Bay of Bengal's mangrove swamp, focusing on a local's encounter with an underwater predator. Researchers Rocky Strong and Fabian Cousteau investigate, suspecting bull sharks. They set bait but find no results, later discovering newborn bull sharks at a market. The video discusses bull sharks' ability to live in freshwater, allowing them to give birth safely. It suggests that after birth, female sharks move upriver for food, sometimes clashing with humans. The video highlights the competition for resources between sharks and humans in these waters.

What is the main reason for the frequent shark attacks in the Bay of Bengal's mangrove swamp?

• The presence of a large number of sharks.

• The murky waters make it difficult to see sharks.

• The villagers provoke the sharks.

• The sharks are attracted to the shrimp larvae.

Who are the two main individuals investigating the shark attacks?

• Fabian Cousteau and Jacques Cousteau

• Rocky Strong and Steve Irwin

• Rocky Strong and Fabian Cousteau

• Rocky Strong and Jacques Cousteau

What is the main focus of the researchers' investigation?

• The breeding habits of bull sharks

• The cause of shark attacks in the mangrove swamp

• The impact of fishing on shark populations

• The migration patterns of bull sharks

Why did the researchers choose a specific spot to set their bait?

• It was recommended by other researchers.

• It was the only accessible area.

• It was the deepest part of the river.

• It was where two major rivers converge.

What did the researchers find at the market?

• A large adult bull shark

• A rare species of shrimp

• Two small newborn sharks

• A variety of fish species

What is Rocky's theory about bull sharks?

• They prefer freshwater over saltwater.

• They temporarily live in freshwater to give birth.

• They move to freshwater to escape predators.

• They are unable to survive in freshwater.

Why do bull sharks move upriver after giving birth?

• To search for food

• To avoid other sharks

• To escape human activity

• To find a mate

What is the primary reason bull sharks can live in freshwater?

• They are born in freshwater.

• They can adapt to different salinities.

• They prefer freshwater environments.

• They have special gills.

What advantage do bull sharks have by moving upriver?

• They can find more mates.

• They can find more food.

• They can avoid human encounters.

• They can dominate the environment.

What is a potential consequence of the competition for food between sharks and humans?

• Increased shark population

• More fishing opportunities

• Decreased fish population

• Dangerous encounters
