The tiger shark lives mainly in the coastal waters of tropical and subtropical areas, although specimens have been found at depths of several hundred meters.
These sharks usually have a body length of 3.25 to 4.25 meters and they can weigh up to 635 kilograms. The females are particularly large, as they can reach 5 meters in length, while males do not exceed 4 meters.
The colour of its skin ranges from blue to light green and its underbelly is white or light yellow. Its characteristic dark stripes fade as the shark matures.
It is an apex predator and has the widest food spectrum of all sharks, as well as the reputation of "garbage eater", because it sometimes consumes inedible objects.
