The Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is a formidable predator found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Known for its distinctive striped pattern, which fades as it matures, the Tiger Shark is an opportunistic feeder, preying on a wide range of marine life, including fish, seals, and even sea birds. Its large size and powerful jaws make it one of the most fearsome sharks in the ocean. While its reputation as a "garbage eater" is due to its indiscriminate feeding habits, the Tiger Shark plays a critical role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
