Tiger Sharks

Unlike the gentle giants of the sea, tiger sharks are well-known for being one of the most ruthless predators in the sea. These creatures can grow up to 25 feet and weigh nearly an entire ton. Their menacing reputation precedes them and they are second only to the great white sharks when it comes to the danger they pose. Unlike the latter, however, they do not immediately abandon their human preys and instead continue chomping on them.

Tiger sharks are commonly seen around the Pacific Islands region. They often feed on seals, turtles, dolphins, fishes, and birds. They are often seen traveling alone instead of in large packs. This species is known to attack lone humpback whales when they travel in groups. However, this species is now slowly moving towards extinction because they are often commercially hunted for their highly-valued fins. The creatures are considered to be near-threatened.
