The guy that runs this actually has 2 websites, and one company.
This First one is about him, and what he does for a living.
http://www.sharkwrangler.com
It's interesting to note - that nowhere does he say that he's handled "mini-bulls", in the list of sharks that he's wrangled. But for the record the "mini-Bull" is the Finetooth Shark.
The second one is the one he sales the sharks out of.
http://www.sharksupply.com
Both websites are part of his parent company - Sharks Unlimited, Inc. Now I do remember seeing a website for this company back in 2002. At that time they sold mostly the same sharks as the presently have - Bulls, Blacktips, Nurse, Lemon, Bonnetheads, Smoothhounds, & Atlantic Sharpnoses. But it's interesting to note - no "mini-Bulls", instead - they had Finetooths.
I'm not saying he's a reputable dealer & I'm claiming he's not one - because honestly I have no idea one way or another - I've just never dealt with him. I just think that the term "Mini-Bull" is a very funny choice of words. Here's why.
- first off - other than being in the same genus & having a "husky" build(which most members of this genus have - including Blacktips) - Finetooths & Bulls look nothing alike.
- Second - Bulls are very Very aggressive(remember - they're #1 on the more dangerous sharks in the world list), including hundreds of attacks on humans. While the Finetooth - has no reported unprevoked attacks.
- Third - Bulls regularly travel into freshwater rivers, which is something few other sharks can do. Finetooths are strictly saltwater sharks.
But I pretty sure that Zoodiver has other points on this.
Also it always wise that before your buy anything from any dealer(online or not), that get to know the person(s) that you are dealing with. Other wise you good easily get burned.

Dr_sudz - I'll tend to disagree with you - at least to a degree. Here's why I say that - some online dealers operate out of their homes. As someone whos had a home based business - To post a phone number on your website invites calls - including people who may nutty enough to call at 3 am (when you are trying to sleep). That said - a good online dealer(sharks, birds, horse, or what ever), should at least have some form of contact information - like an email address - so potential buyers may ask important questions.
Also it always wise that before your buy anything from any dealer(online or not), that get to know the person(s) that you are dealing with. Other wise you good easily get burned.
Agreed.
