Tiger Shark
The Tiger Shark is a resident of reef, shelf and slope habitats globally. They are commonly found at depths of around 100m but are capable of depths of up to 1000m. Their gestation period is typically 15 months and average around 26 - 33 pups per litter.
Their species are near threatened as a bi-product of fisheries and are a species killed under 'shark control' programs in Australia.
In South Africa, catching a live Tiger Shark requires returning it live to the oceans, yet 27% of Tiger Sharks captured die in the nets.
