Tiger Sharks, Galeocerdo cuvier

Tiger sharks are cool. In the right conditions, tiger sharks are like big puppies, and more than one person commented on how their experiences in the water with tiger sharks on this trip completely changed their view of them. In the clear, shallow water of Tiger Beach, tiger sharks came in slowly and deliberately, often in the classic, "hunched" position, with noses pointed toward the sandy bottom. Younger sharks often have really bright stripes, which are gorgeous!

One thing that was interesting was that at least two of the regulars we see at Tiger Beach showed up twenty miles away at 16 Gigabyte Refuge, two days later! Simply amazing, that a shark would follow us so far, presumably following a chum slick...(?)
