We should ask if they're interested in building 8 animals and having a tournament.

" Why are bull sharks so aggressive? Does it have anything to do with their testosterone levels?

Whilst it is true that male bull sharks have more testosterone in their system than any other animal. Extreme levels of testosterone have been found in bull sharks during the breeding season and this may account for their particularly antisocial behaviour. However, attacks by Bull sharks are not limited to the breeding season, nor to males. Their aggressive reputation comes from their proximity to humans and their habitat - they reside in shallow inshore waters, often venturing far up freshwater rivers. They are also very adept at hunting in low to zero visibility waters, so a case of mistaken identity can certainly be applied. They are also reportedly very territorial, which again may account for their attacks on humans."
