☆ Six bull sharks inadvertently made their home on an Australian golf course. Then they vanished

Because Carbrook in Queensland boasted a membership unlike any other golf club on the planet: six resident bull sharks. A new corridor was opened and – sometime during those three temporary windows – six bull sharks glided into uncharted waters. Carbrook Golf Club Shark in the LakeMedia interest boomed, and the club embraced its toothy tenants with vigor. Their extended residence, he argued, sheds new light on just how adaptable bull sharks are. A stay of at least 17 years in low-salinity waters — more than half a bull shark’s lifespan — was unprecedented.

☆ A group of bull sharks lived in a golf course pond for 17 years. Scientists say they could be in other ponds in Australia

A group of bull sharks lived in a freshwater golf course pond for over 17 years. AdvertisementAdvertisementFor almost two decades, a golf course in Australia boasted a unique selling point — a shark-infested pond near its fourteenth hole. Sharks in a golf course pond is odder still. They are somewhat of a scientific marvel because they've lived in freshwater longer than any other bull shark that scientists have observed. AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to a recent study, these bull sharks in the golf course pond lived there for an estimated 17 years — more than half of bull sharks' projected 30-year life span.

☆ Sharks on a Golf Course Made a Watery Grave Unlike Any Other
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Annie Roth | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For nearly two decades, the Carbrook Golf Club near Brisbane, Australia, had the ultimate water hazard: a lake teeming with bull sharks. It all started in 1996 when raging floods swept six young bull sharks from a nearby river into a 51-acre lake near the golf course’s 14th hole. When the floodwaters receded, the sharks found themselves stuck, surrounded by grassy hills and curious golfers. The sharks, according to a new study, are more than just a fluke along the fairway. In research published last month in the journal Marine and Fisheries Science, Peter Gausmann, a shark scientist and lecturer at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, said that the cartilaginous club members of Carbrook bull sharks demonstrate that bull sharks can live indefinitely in low-salinity aquatic environments.
