Tiger Shark Pictures For Kids Biography

Photos of the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) in the clear water of Hawaii and the Fijis.
On our boat there is a “sports fisher“ who is fishing for the Giant Trevally (Caronix ignobilis) with baits. This fish is found around the north western islands of Hawaii in record sizes, and on the fishing rod they are exceptional fighters. Sometimes, such an activity lures Tiger Sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier). The Tiger Shark belongs to the family of the Gray Sharks (Carcharhinidae); it is the only species of the Grey Shark with suction holes. Tiger Sharks are incredibly impressive and large sharks which can reach a length of more than six metres. The name is due to the striped pattern on the grey back of the animals, which becomes increasingly paler when they are grown. The big, broad and bulky head and the diagonal stripes, similar to the stripes of a tiger, are a reliable distinctive mark. Typical for the Tiger Shark are also its broad mouth, broad nose, a long barrel-shaped forebody and a narrow, slender tail end. Together with the Bull Shark and the White Shark, the Tiger Shark – it is said to cause most of the accidents in the tropics – belongs to the “most dangerous sharks species“ (any animal could be dangerous to humans). Tiger Sharks have the highest developed teeth. Despite their carapace, even sea turtles are not safe from them because of the sharks’ unique masticatory apparatus. Considering a pressure of the teeth of up to three tons/cm², this is not surprising. Tiger Sharks have the broadest food spectrum of all sharks. Apart from sea turtles, seals, sea lions, other sharks, whales, and sea birds, they also eat invertebrates, garbage and carrion. Tiger Sharks are mainly found in tropical and warm to temperate seas. They are found in the coastal region as well as around archipelagos as Hawaii, the Marshall Islands, Galapagos, Fiji and Tahiti. Adult animals don’t have any natural enemies, the only threat is the human.

I'm with wartiger57 on this. He didn't catch 21 tiger sharks and cut their fins off, he caught 1 trophy shark. (The difference between legal deer hunting and poaching.)Tiger sharks are not endangered, but they will and do eat people. I've been lucky enough to catch a 5 1/2 foot long bull shark, which we released, and the fight was incredible. My hat is off big time to this guy.

I'm with you hunt/fish/trap, I actually enjoy catching them but killing anything this large and magnificent is a waste unless you're feeding yourself and others with it. These tournaments could let them put a ruler in the pics and have them take length/girth measurements then release. It's bad enough the Asians are wiping sharks out we do not need to help them.

I personally would not go shark fishing, but I'm not going to rip somebody else for doing it, given that it IS perfectly legal.

Wartiger, why do you think so many bass and muskie fisherman practice catch and release? Have you ever done any reading about fish populations in the oceans? You could start with the history of the North Atlantic cod fish. It was another endless supply of fish. I would never minimize the magnitude of catching a fish this size but the outcome isn't what I would favor. Just my two cents worth.

WHOOPIE
Another dead shark. I thought the word was out to start giving the toothy guys a break while there are still some left to give breaks to. So what is the young stud going to do with the carcass give it to his mother? Come on people let's start using our heads about what we take and don't take from our oceans. Mindless killing is senseless.
