The tiger shark is a Predator, known for eating a wide range of items. Its usual diet consists of fish (wide range), seals, sea birds, smaller sharks, squid, turtles, and dolphins. It has sometimes been found with man-made waste such as license plates or pieces of old tires in its digestive tract and is often referred to as "the wastebasket of the sea".

They are often found close to the coast, in mainly tropical and sub-tropical waters worldwide, though they can reside in temperate waters.

The shark's behaviour is primarily nomadic, but is guided by warmer currents, and it stays closer to the equator throughout the colder months. The shark tends to stay in deep waters that line reefs but does move into channels to pursue prey in shallower waters. In the western Pacific Ocean, the shark has been found as far north as Japan and as far south as New Zealand. By; Jesse Howe
