The Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland, Australia, has a water hazard in the truest sense of the word, especially for a golfer who wades in trying to retrieve a lost ball. The lake on the course contains at least thirty bull sharks, many over ten feet long. Bull sharks are maneaters who attack people more than any other shark species, as they like to cruise in shallow water and are very aggressive.
The sharks populated the lake in 1990 when a flood temporarily connected it to the ocean.
Bull sharks have been known to travel up freshwater passages and have been caught in the Mississippi River as far north as Alton, Illinois.
