*The name is made up of 2 words Nicarao (the Indian tribe that was occupying the shores of Lake Nicaragua when the Spaniards arrived in the 1500's) and Agua (water).
*In 1961, the Lake Nicaragua Shark was synonymized with the widespread Bull shark. It had been presumed that the sharks were trapped within the lake, but this was found to be incorrect in the late 1960s, when it was discovered that they were able to jump along the rapids of the San Juan River (which connects Lake Nicaragua and the Caribbean Sea), almost like salmon. As evidence of these movements, bull sharks tagged inside the lake have later been caught in the open ocean (and vice versa), with some taking as little as 7-11 days to complete the journey. (yes, this was copied straight from Wikipedia, but I thought it was cool)
