	Ganges shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ganges shark (Glyphis gangeticus) is a rare species of fresh water shark that dwells in the Ganges River.
		The Ganges shark, as its name suggests, is largely restricted to the rivers of the Indo-Western Pacific, particularly the Hooghly River of West Bengal, India.
		There are much more dangerous sharks in the Ganges such as the bull shark; it represents a greater definite danger than this threatened and elusive species.

	Shark Facts
		The white shark lives in the temperate waters of the world and is commonly found in Australia, South Africa, the Mediterranean and the temperate regions of America.
		Great white sharks however are known to "tail slap" the surface of the water in social communications that may indicate the size of the shark to other rival sharks and perhaps stake claim to rights on a food source.
		Sharks do tend to heal their wounds very quickly and recover from massive injuries and they have been seen to continue feeding even when they are badly injured.

	Shark protection without bite
		And yet this is the only way to prevent one or the other shark species from winding up on the "nonendangered" list due to the unavailability of sufficient data, which means risking its partial or complete extinction in the years to come.
		At the IUCN meeting four of the threatened shark species were classified as endangered, i.e: the Ganges shark (Glyphis gangeticus), Glyphis glyphis, the whitetip soupfin shark (Hemitriakis leucoperiptera) and the Borneo shark (Carcharhinus borneensis).
		Many shark species are too rare to appear in statistics: The "71" list thus only mentions species which may actually show a decline in fishing statistics, like the just recently discovered megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) or the Ganges shark (Glyphis gangeticus), a known rare species.

	The Bull Shark - It lurks in the shallows, even in fresh water. And it loves to kill. By Douglas McCollam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		All sharks sometimes venture close to shore, but bull sharks are the only killers that like to hang out in water where your feet touch bottom.
		Lake Nicaragua was thought to have a unique species of freshwater shark until it was discovered that the beasts were bull sharks swimming upstream from the Caribbean, braving the rapids on the San Juan river like salmon coming home to spawn.

	Of what real advantage is the list of endangered shark species?
		Almost 60 shark species are currently listed on the IUCN Red List which, unfortunately, is quite incomplete when it comes to sharks, mainly due to the lack of documented research.
		IUCN research on both listed shark species as well as other animal species is carried out in accordance with given criteria which allows them to be divided into different categories of endangerment ranging from "data deficient" to "extinct in the wild", with a host of other classifications between the two.
		There are many more endangered shark species than only the 25 termed as threatened or shortly before extinction, but insufficient finances and personnel bottlenecks prevent us from really getting to the bottom of this situation.

	Indian Ocean Shark Attacks - Sharkworld
		The regions and countries that surround the Indian Ocean have suffered relatively few shark attacks considering the warmth of the waters, with the exception of the Persian Gulf and the Ganges Delta.
		This is probably the work of the Bull shark, which is known to often enter rivers and freshwater lakes.
		While the Bull shark is now known to be responsible for the majority of these attacks, the lesser known Ganges shark- Glyphis gangeticus was often blamed.

	CDNN Eco News :: Galapagos Park Officials Seize Illegal Shark Fins
		Shark species in the Galapagos and throughout the world are threatened and endangered primarily because of shark finning, a brutal practice in which fishermen hook sharks, cut off their fins and throw them back into the ocean to bleed to death.
		Conservationists say the practice is cruel because sharks are left to suffer an agonizingly slow death, and it is also wasteful because up to 99 per cent of the shark is not used.
		Most shark fins are dried and sold to Asian dealers in Hong Kong and Singapore where shark fin soup is considered a gourmet delicacy, a status symbol and an aphrodisiac by millions of consumers enriched by Asia's massive economic growth.
