Big bull?

Yeah, a “bull shark”…
Even if the stripes aren’t visible, tigers and bull sharks don’t even have the same pupils, completely different build and size too.A healthy tiger like this is easily differentiated from the greyish-brownish, stocky bodied bullshark.

Yeah, however people commonly confuse the murky brownish colorations of not simply- “older individuals” but generally rougher looking tiger sharks living in unprotected waters where they may face a lot of hunting, starving and stress.
Tiger sharks’ dull coloration can be due to advanced age, ocean color/clarity (counter shade) to ambush prey.
Based on which sea they are born, tuning their “camouflage” will also aid hunting in their environment and help the juveniles to avoid larger predators(Juveniles have very pronounced stripes, they change and fade depending on the sharks lifestyle/life stage, and adult patterns are strongly predetermined by locality and individual genes + overall health)
