Shark Attacks in Mangrove Swamps

In the world's largest mangrove swamp in the Bay of Bengal, villagers face frequent underwater attacks. Sumitra, a local, recounts a terrifying encounter with a mysterious creature. National Geographic biologist Rocky Strong and adventurer Fabien Cousteau investigate, suspecting bull sharks. Despite initial challenges, they confirm the presence of bull sharks, known for their ability to live in freshwater. This adaptation allows them to give birth in safer environments and search for food, sometimes leading to dangerous interactions with humans.
