True freshwater sharks take a number of forms:
- the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, which frequently swims up rivers.
- the River sharks, Glyphis spp., which are entirely freshwater.
A number of freshwater cyprinids are also commonly (albeit incorrectly) known as "sharks", including the Silver "shark", Balantiocheilos melanopterus and various members of the genus Labeo.
