Andre Crone Distribution:
The Tiger shark has a broad distribution area. They are seen in warm waters around Australia, New Zealand, Africa and South America.
Food:
Tiger sharks are real omnivores. The main part of its diet consists of fish, small rays and even its own species. Furthermore they eat almost every meal they encounter on its journey, like birds, squids etcetera.
The Tiger shark has the reputation to be the most dangerous shark in the world. How dangerous it seems to be, the Tiger shark is not seen frequently. In daytime the Tiger shark lives in deep waters, outside the coast. Mostly at sunset, and only rarely at daytime, the Tiger shark moves to shallow coastal waters in search of food.
Tiger sharks live a solitaire lifestyle. They are real nomads, covering great distances following the warm ocean currents. The Tiger shark has received its name by the drawings on the back of the shark. In sunshine the dark spots and stripes resemble that of a tiger. Tiger sharks can reach a length of 7 meters and has a big, wide, almost prehistorically head with long rows of sharp teeth.
