Tuvalu 5-CENTS (KM3)

Tiger Shark

Tiger sharks are large -- typically up to 3 m long, but as large as 5 m -- voracious predators. They are named for the dark vertical stripes on young Tiger sharks, which mostly disappear as they mature. They will hunt, kill, and eat almost anything that swims, and have powerful enough jaws to crack open turtle shells.
