## Biological Matchup Context
When contrasting Bull Shark against Great Torpedo Ray, tactical victory depends on physiological engagement range, strike speed, armor density, and chemical or physical defense mechanisms:
- **Bull Shark**: Freshwater river invader, named for its stout build and a reputation for aggression, with a harder bite for its weight than a great white's.
- **Great Torpedo Ray**: 170-to-220-volt shocks from a honeycomb of barely visible electric organs, and jaws that stretch to swallow surprisingly big fish.
