You do realize the massive amounts of undiscovered underwater caves and caverns dont you? Nature always finds a way. I I swim in Lake Michigan in the 70s and all I got was a bad ear infection and saw lots of dead fish floating around and got out of there as fast as I could and there were women and children swimming. But what about a sturgeon this could be a abundant food source for sharks wich would probably keep the sharks alive sence I remember hearing some stories about the Great Lakes being connected to the ocean a long time ago not to mention the depths of the Great Lakes such as Lake Superior.
From a science magazine. There was a string of shark attacks on the Jersey shore in , in which three of the attacks occurred in a creek. The shark often linked to these attacks is the Great White Shark though some scholars debate that it was a bull shark, simply because they have been known to live in freshwater.
People disappear out of there boats all the time. The large salmon population has dropped. Salmon are caught with teeth marks on them. The otters will not venture into water deeper than 20 feet any more. Several have washed up on shore in Michigan and Georgian Bay. Nope no Bull here ……except Bull sharks. Heck, it could always eat muskies.. Look up Lake Michigan sturgeon or just google biggest fish caught in the Great Lakes. The sharks deter all the barriers by moving into the Michigan when there are huge floods, that overflow the barriers.
They just find a flooded way around. The bull shark is in Lake Michigan. I live in Michigan and really do not understand why people keep having the fantasy of a Shark swimming up in the lakes. Fresh water and barriers. Kids should not have acces to seeing this content because it could make them scared for life or not want to go out and swim in the Great Lakes.

Southern Illinois is still a long way from Lake Michigan, but they are connected. The tip in downstate Illinois is also a long way from the Gulf of Mexico too. So I suppose if a shark with a case of northerly wanderlust could make it to the Illinois River north of St.
Louis, it could make it the rest of the way. What kind of shark could it be? A bull shark? Recycling the salt its body already contains allows bull sharks to adapt to a freshwater environment. Now, the Lake Michigan pro-shark conspiracy theorists will attempt to use science to back up their claim. They will proudly state that Bull sharks have evolved over the years to restrict the removal of salt from their bloodstream, allowing them to spend time in freshwater. This is not wrong. Bull sharks have been spotted in the Mississippi River around the St.
Louis area but the many locks and dams of the Illinois River would make it very very difficult for a Bull shark to swim over from the Mississippi River and into Lake Michigan.
I hope this blog gives you enough information for your next debate with someone that tells you there are Bull sharks hanging out in Lake Michigan.
