Bull sharks take to Louisiana swamp - WAFB Channel 9, Baton Rouge, LA |

"They have been captured in St. Louis. They have traveled 2500 miles up the Amazon. They have some mechanism in their make-up that allows them to process freshwater and not require high salinity to live." It may seem hard to believe that in the deep swamp of Louisiana bull sharks, one of the most dangerous species of shark, are swimming in the swamp.

I was in Alton, IL for work several weeks ago and a local was telling me the story of the bull shark caught there; now I see it in a print story. I believe he said it was in the 1930's, so it's not like it's never happened before - still kinda weird thinking about sharks in the Mississippi River...
