Abstract
The Tiger shark of the genus Galeocerdo is reportedly represented by a single species Galeocerdo cuvier (Peron & Leasueur, 1822) belonging to the family Carcharhinidae. The species is a circumglobal large predator with reports of attacking humans as well. The name ‘Tiger shark’ is derived from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble the pattern of a Tiger; however, the patterns fade as the shark matures. This species can grow up to a maximum length of 750 cm, reaches maturity at 300 cm (Lm) (approximately 7–10 years) and has a maximum published weight of 807.4 kg. The maximum reported age for the species is 50 years
