Offspring of 'Big Bull' shark had been found

Marine ecologist Neil Hammerschlag has caught and released a lot of sharks in his day. But there’s no question the most memorable was the thousand-pound female bull shark named Big Bull, one of the largest specimens on record. 

“It literally took my breath away,” says Hammerschlag, director of the Shark Research and Conservation Program at the University of Miami.  Most bull sharks are around seven feet long—Big Bull was 10 feet. 

In an incredible turn of events, three bull sharks caught and sampled along the Florida coast in recent years were found to be offspring of the legendary mama shark, Hammerschlag says in the show “Biggest Bull Shark,” premiering July 13 on National Geographic’s SharkFest.

Finding sons and daughters of a known shark is relatively rare. “I mean, you’re literally looking for—not a needle in a haystack—but a needle in the world’s oceans,” he says.

Maybe Big Bull adopted her kids.

I'm sorry. It was in the part of the article mentioning the species that can devour humans.
