How do bull shark attacks on a hippopotamus usually end?
The bull shark is known as one of the most dangerous marine predators on earth. Particularly impressive are its jaws, which are considered the most powerful of all sharks, making it a serious contender for any marine life.
An interesting fact about bull sharks is their ability to survive in fresh water for long periods of time, allowing them to appear in rivers in South America and Africa.
And so, in Africa, they sometimes meet with hippopotamuses. Hippos usually have a lot of fish circling around them, which attracts sharks in search of food.
A conflict arises when a shark tries to recognize a hippopotamus in murky river water, where its vision is of little help.
Having realized who is in front of it, the shark may decide to attack, but if the object remains unidentified, the shark first “tests” it by crashing into the potential victim to assess its size and texture.
After such a “test,” the shark may try to bite the object. However, when faced with a hippopotamus, the shark quickly realizes that it is better for it to retreat, since an adult hippopotamus significantly exceeds it in size and weight, and can be very aggressive.
If the hippopotamus gets angry, it may attack, and then the shark can only flee using its speed and agility.
Thus, the shark, despite its predatory instincts and powerful jaws, has virtually no chance in a collision with a hippopotamus, which can weigh ten times more and is much larger in size.
Hippos are also very territorial and can react aggressively to violators of their territory, which makes any attempt by a shark to attack or even approach them extremely risky.
