About this shark

This shark was caught on the east side of Andros, Bahamas, and is the beautiful animal in the images featured.

About this adoption

This shark is female, measures at fork length 233cm, and was fitted with a CASEY tag; this type of tag does not transmit signals, but is visibly seen by researchers during a recapture. We’ll only get further information on this shark if we or other scientists catch it again. In exchange for this adoption donation, you will have the privilege of naming her, you will receive an adoption certificate, and if we recapture your shark, we will excitedly be in touch with an update!

General Information

Tiger sharks are truly stunning animals. When they are juveniles, their distinctive tiger stripes are crisp and vivid. As they mature, the pigment fades to become more of a hazy shimmer. Known for their size and fearsome appearance, they’ve been misjudged over the years, but tiger sharks are smart, charismatic, and full of personality! If you’re looking to adopt a true apex predator, a tiger shark is the one for you.
