[edit] Freshwater Sharks
The article says that Lake Nicaragua is the only freshwater lake with sharks, but no source is given. Some googling indicates that Bull sharks are found in the lake. Bull sharks are not true freshwater sharks, as their range includes the world's oceans. The lake is connected to the Caribbean via the San Juan river, allowing bull sharks access to the ocean. So is there another species of shark in the lake, or should the statement be rephrased? Can anybody help? Mongrel 8 11:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Its a subspecies of bull shark, they migrate from the lake to the caribbean and back.
