Answer 1

We have not heard any news like people taken away by crocodiles or sharks or Man Eating Fish in Bay of Bengal on Bangladesh Shorelines.

The water is slightly less salty than the shores in other parts of the world where ingress of fresh water from rivers are remote. The Bay of Bengal is semi-enclosed water mass. It maintains a clockwise surface current regardless of monsoon season, and receives considerable freshwater input from precipitation and from the Ganges-Brahmaputra system, resulting in a two-layered stratified water column. The Ganges-Brahmaputra also contributes an enormous sediment load to the region.

The country is home to the Royal Bengal Tigers, leopards, Asiatic elephants, monkeys, langurs, gibbons (the only ape in the subcontinent), otters and mongooses, Reptiles include the sea tortoise, mud turtle, river tortoise, pythons, crocodiles, gharials and a variety of snakes.

The Gangetic River Dolphin (Platanista gangeticus) is common in the rivers. No less than 50 species of reptiles and eight species of amphibians are known to occur. The Sundarbans now support the only population of the Estuarine, or Salt-Water Crocodile (Crocodiles paresis) in Bangladesh, and that population is estimated at less than two hundred individuals. Here land and water meet in many novel fashions, Wildlife presents many a spectacle.

Carcharhinus gangeticus (Shark) is found in the Bay of Bengal and in all the large rivers. Those living in the Ganges ascend upstream and are among the few sharks adapted to freshwater. Another important example is Scoliodon, popularly known as dog-sharks or dog-fishes.

Hammer-headed sharks are notable exhibits in large marine aquaria on account of their bizarre appearance. The head of this shark is flattened in front and expanded sideways, thus resembling a hammer. They are caught for their oil, although the yield is comparatively low. Four species have been recorded in the Indian seas, the most important being Sphyrna blochii (synonymous with Zygaena blochii, Day) found in the Bay of Bengal and off the Bombay coast.

The third major groups of sharks are the Squaloids composed of three families. Family Squalidae consists of small-sized sharks resembling the dog-fishes.

Happy visit in Bangladesh!!
