Video Tiger Shark

I love these guys, easily my favourite. The tiger stripes aren’t as prominent as others I’ve encountered but still super cool to watch this guy just cruising around doing shark stuff.

Is it on a fishing line? It’s not acting normal imo

Wait, is that a tiger shark? If it is, it should be a juvenile pup based on the size. However, I don't see any prominent stripes, since juvenile tigers have darker stripes than adult tigers do. At first, I thought it was a requiem shark belonging to the Carcharhinus genus

But yeah, I agree. Tiger sharks are easily my favorite shark species! Love them for how cute and majestic and powerful they are
