Tiger sharks are know as one of the most “dangerous” sharks, why is that?
The most common reason is because tigers like to live in shallow water close to shore, that is were lots of people swim and play and like most sharks they are drawn to fast movements. So they are not as evil as you thought, and you might try thinking about how cute they are, that would help with any shark related fears.
If you live in a place where tiger sharks and tiger shark related attacks are common these tips might help. Don’t splash a lot, look around you every once and awhile to check for shark dorsal fins and tails above the water.
Tiger sharks main pray is large sea turtles, seals and sea lions, and sometimes anything they can get a hold of, but of the “anything” they eat, humans are not on the list, sure tigers have killed people (not on purpose!) but they don’t normally eat us. The reason tigers attack people is that they see us as seals and turtles and other food, we of course are not food, so next time you see a photo, drawing or article about tigers don’t hate them, know that they make mistakes to.
Tiger sharks grow up to 18 feet long and can have 10-18 pups.
