Tigers of the Deep: Sharks

Tigers of the Deep: Sharks

On Mondays we are brining back older episodes. This week to celebrate Shark Fest and Shark Week, we revisit the Tiger Shark! Incredible fish with an incredible story. You can learn more about Tiger Sharks by visiting their webpage HERE Briefly, this week we go in depth about one of the oceans top predators, the Tiger Shark. We first discuss the true statistics on shark attacks around the world. Tiger Sharks are persecuted, hunted and culled due to the belief that they are a major nuisance and danger to humans. Nothing is further from the truth. More, we discuss how beautiful this large fish are and how critical they are to a healthy ecosystem. Tiger Shark History Sharks are one the oldest class of animals still alive. Species of sharks began to emerge nearly 450 million years ago. The first trees did not emerge on our land masses until 385 million years ago. This means sharks were here millions of years before them. Incredible. Furthermore, sharks dominated the world’s oceans 360 million years ago. This is known as the “Age of Sharks.” Tiger Sharks have been around for roughly 56 million years ago. Our modern Tiger Shark is thought to have emerged roughly 5 million years ago. This makes them a truly old and ancient species. They are of the Family Cartharhinidae and called Requiem Sharks. There are migratory, live-bearing sharks. They live in tropical or warm seas and includes such species as the spinner shark, the blacknose shark, the blacktip shark, the grey reef shark, the blacktip reef shark, and the Oceanic whitetip shark. ------------------------------------------------------------- Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
