Carnoferox Posted November 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The picture accompanying the article is a sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus), not a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) as it is labelled. Sand tigers are relatively harmless and have never been responsible for a fatal attack on a human. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted November 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Well, I learnt something a "sand tiger shark" is what we call a "grey nurse", and yes, they are not regarded as a risk to swimmers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand tiger is the American term and grey nurse is the Australian, if I'm not mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some amazing things have been found in the stomach contents of tiger sharks. One story had a drum of some kind. Another bizarre story was of a shark that was caught, disgorging a man's arm, that had a distinctive tattoo. It was identified as belonging to a criminal who had gone missing, presumably murdered and dumped at sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_Arm_case 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
