Did you know that bull sharks have been found in rivers 1,800 miles away from the ocean?

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Martin O'Connell, a scientist who has extensively researched sharks and other marine species. We dive into the history of bull shark encounters in Lake Pontchartrain and other estuarine areas. We also explore WHY these sharks come into the lake, their role as an apex predator, and our own feelings about swimming in the same bodies of water with these fascinating creatures.
