"Young bull sharks are common inhabitants of low salinity waters—rivers, estuaries, subtropical embayments—and often appear in similar videos in FL water bodies connected to the sea such as coastal canals and ponds," George Burgess, who used to run the Florida Museum of Natural History's shark program, said to the AP.
"Assuming the location and date attributes are correct, it is likely this shark was swept shoreward with the rising seas."
