If that is a fresh water lake, then I'm thinking that they are probably bull sharks. That is the only true shark species I know of that can live for prolonged periods in fresh water. They are often found well inland in rivers, and are particularly dangerous in murky water where they can't see their prey and only attack by scent and vibrations. I certainly wouldn't go wading there.

They sure look like Bull Sharks. It is one thing to have sharks in the pond, but Bull Sharks are as dangerous as they come.

Yeah, the article says they are bull sharks, so you fellas are correct (and seem to know your sharks)

It's things like this that make me glad I live about as far away from the ocean as you can get. We get the occasional piranha here but that's a heck of a long way for a bullshark to swim.

But I bet there are more people injured from tractors in Omaha each year than there are sharks attacks in the world each year.

And for some reason, piranha scare the crap out of me!

You're probably right. Maybe not in Omaha (it's a nice cosmopolitan town) but the surrounding area most likely.

That is correct. In fact 'Jaws' (the movie, not the wedges) was based on a bull shark attack in Northern NJ in the early 1900's where a rogue bull shark swam up a river, got stuck, got hungry, and then had some good times with the locals there

That is one of several incidents where bull sharks are known or suspected of attacks on people far from the ocean.

That is pretty awesome. So not only do you have to worry about crocodiles in the hazards, but sharks as well.

Pulled from the Bull Shark Wikipedia page:
"Unlike most sharks, bull sharks tolerate fresh water and can travel far up rivers. They have even been known to travel as far up as Indiana in the Ohio River and Illinois in the Mississippi River, although there have been few recorded attacks. As a result, they are probably responsible for the majority of near-shore shark attacks, including many attacks attributed to other species."

Not an accurate statement at all! I've been spearfishing, and had bull sharks come by, 3 of them, all large enough to eat me and my 2 friends, and still want more! They come, check you out, and leave. I have friends that spearfish every weekend off of Jupiter, and there are always bullsharks. Never had an issue with them. Sure they might steal a fish here and there, but for the most park, they just check you out.
I'd much rather be in the water with sharks, than to be in there with gators and crocs.

I heard about this place last year, can't remember how. If you go to the course website they have video's of the sharks swimming around in the pond and you can see the green off in the distance.

Whites, Tigers and Bulls are the three top species for attacks on humans. Overall attacks are rare, but to call Bulls not dangerous is incorrect.

wow thats crazy, i love watching shark shows(shark week), would love to see that in real life

they don't hold a candle on whales though. Orcas will mess a white shark up
