Is it true that bull sharks are more aggressive than other sharks?

Unclear. Several reference sources describe bull sharks as aggressive and among the most dangerous sharks, but none directly compares their aggression to that of other shark species. The evidence supports only the narrower point that bull sharks are known for aggressive behavior.
