The bull shark is a species of shark located in salt and fresh water globally. In the early 18th century, bull sharks were hunted, harpooned, skinned and/or finned for their various goods. In [[Abstergo Entertainment|Abstergo Entertainment's]] animus, you can find them in the northern part of the Caribbean, specifically in the areas of "Dry Tortuga," and "Gibara." In the animus, there are 6 harpooning targets to be found, 3 of them sharks, and the bull shark is typically considered the easiest and less dangerous out of the [[Sharks|trio of species]]. In the animus, this is due to the fact that it follows a constant pattern when being hunted, and lacks power to ram the boat. However, in the actual world, bull sharks are highly aggressive and are responsible for many shark attacks over time.

A bull shark

Bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) are a group of shark species commonly found worldwide in warm, shallow waters along coasts and in the rivers.

History[edit | edit source]

During the early 18th century, the pirates Edward Kenway and Adéwalé hunted bull sharks for their valuable bones and skin. The sharks could also be found roaming underwater shipwreck sites, deterring the divers from recovering the sunken treasures. They frequented the Gibara and Dry Tortuga regions of the Caribbean.[1]

Around the same time, the French pirate Alonzo Batilla also sought out the sharks, though he fished for them instead of hunting.[2]

Behavior[edit | edit source]

Unlike great white sharks, bull sharks tended to swim in fairly straightforward patterns, making them relatively easy to hit with harpoons. When retaliating against attackers, bull sharks adopted a more erratic approach, before going straight for the whaling boat.[1]
