It is a large macropredator, with females being capable of attaining a length of over 5 m (16 ft 5 in).Populations are found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around central Pacific islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a tiger’s pattern, but fade as the shark matures. By @dhalhey_dive | Maduro Dive | Facebook
