The tiger shark gets its name from the characteristic vertical markings that cover the sides of its body, resembling those of a tiger. Though these stripes fade slightly as individuals reach adulthood, they are very noticeable in juveniles. Tiger sharks grow to sizes of at least 18 feet and 2,000 pounds, making it the fourth-largest shark species. Though ferocious, the tiger shark is not immune to overfishing and the shark fin trade.
