My Journey
I first searched on Wikipedia about bull sharks and read the entire summary about bull sharks, which was pretty informative and gave me a lot of interesting background knowledge.
I also searched bull sharks on YouTube to watch different videos and documentaries about the bull shark. There were a few videos of experts swimming with the sharks, which seemed crazy to me. In a few of the videos the people actually got bit, but it is still crazy that they could stand in the water with 10 to 15 sharks swimming around then without biting them. I also searched on the Discovery Channel website to see if they had a webpage on bull sharks included in their Shark Week page, but they didn’t have a specific page for bull sharks. Here they only had some of the same videos I had watched on YouTube about the shark.
I found a video on Discovery where a mother shark actually gave birth to two babies and the expert was talking about how different sharks give birth differently.
I went back to the Wikipedia page and started clicking on the links that were used to create that page. Here I found a few actual pages that told me more about the bull shark and I have shared a few of the more informative ones below.
A few of them were informative and interesting and they told about how bull sharks actually eat corpses in India.
This is also when I started compiling all of the information to make sure I had everything and putting it into a website.
I searched for how bull sharks can survive in fresh water since they are the only ones and I found a website that explains it in detail. It is very interesting how they can adjust their bodies to remove the extra water.
Out of all of the sources, I found Wikipedia most helpful not only because it had a lot about the bull shark, but it also gave me links to go to other pages.
