Fish...probably..because enviormental conditions make the animals evolve to survive their surroundings...last I heard Bill Gates up in Seattle had this problem an few years ago...someone had dumped an aquarium shark near his house and it had adapted to the water..he supposedly had scubba diver's out there hunting them down to kill...as he used the water off his boat ramp for his kids to swim in during the summer.

Financial Sharks....well, the latest on this is the guy that got three credit cards from anl well known retail store...each card had an rewards program with it...10 days before the billing period arrived he would transfer his newly purchased balance from card to card...giving him an dollar monthly award off each card for purchases, yearly bonus points on rewards... no interest to pay for nearly three months time..and top notch credit score. They call him something like the Card Cowboy...apparently they know about what he's doing.. but its so far perfectly legal to their their rules.

Scientist's have thought... or some of them.. that the Loch Ness Monster is an huge sea creature of its day that was cornered into it's lake as the ice age left the area...has adapted if not spurned more of its own type...and frogs are doing that now...they are impregenating themselves out of the need for survival in some parts of the country down in the south in the USA. Yes, we have an male frog shortage.

Yes the Bull shark certainly can, and does and they are also sizeable maneaters. On a lighter note, Parliment and the 'square mile' is full of them.

I was swimming in the Indian ocean by myself just off the beach in Gan, an island in the Maldives when a boat full of locals began shouting at me. I thought they where just being abusive as I was a foriegner but I later learned that sharks were using the same water, lol

I was going to add, my lawyer seems to be ok after going swimming too and the local pool or seaside both seem to have no ill effects on him.
