Tiger Shark Pictures (Galeocerdo cuvier)
My tiger shark pictures (Galeocerdo cuvier) are now on Photoshelter (in addition to the tiger shark photos on this website). These were also taken on the same trip with Skip, Ken Howard, Keith Grundy and Jim Abernethy. These tiger sharks were the reason I wanted to go on the trip. They are really impressive fish, capable predators and in control of their surroundings. It was a real pleasure spending hours in the water with them swimming around us. Tiger sharks are typically about 11′ - 17′ in length (3.25-4.25m) and weigh in at 800-1400 lb (375-640 kg), although the largest recorded was 24′ (7.25m) long and weighed 1900 lb (900kg). Tiger sharks tend to be solitary hunters, but we sometimes had 3 or 4 simultaneously because we were baiting them.
