Carcharhinus leucas (Müller & Henle, 1839) .

Bull Shark. To 3.5 m (11.5 ft) TL ( Tyabji et al. 2020) or perhaps to 3.66 m (12 ft) ( Weigmann 2016). Circumglobal in warm waters; possibly southern California (Personal communication: California Academy of Sciences Fish Collection, San Francisco, California); western Pacific Ocean north to about Okinawa, Japan (Yoshino and Aonuma in Nakabo 2002); Isla Guadalupe, central Baja California ( Reyes-Bonilla et al. 2010), southern Baja California ( Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) to Paita, Peru ( Chirichigno 1974) , including Gulf of California (Compagno et al. in Fischer et al. 1995). Marine and fresh water; depth: surface (Allen and Robertson 2015), 1 m (3 ft) or less to 164 m (538 ft) (min.: Ebert et al., 2013; max.: Lea et al. 2015). A depth record of 500 m (1,640 ft) ( Manilo and Bogorodsky 2003) is considered unlikely ( Weigmann 2016). Naylor et al. (2012) suggest that this may be a species complex.
