Tiger Shark

The tiger shark is one of the largest predatory sharks in the ocean, known for its distinctive dark stripes that fade as the shark matures. Named after the tiger-like pattern on its skin, this apex predator is famous for its varied diet and is often called the 'garbage can of the sea' due to its willingness to eat almost anything.
