What is stripe shark?

Striped sharks, also known as tiger sharks, are a large predatory shark species found in warm, coastal waters around the world. They are identified by their distinctive stripes, which range from light to dark and can vary in width and pattern between individuals. Striped sharks have a broad, flat snout and powerful jaws with serrated teeth that allow them to feed on a variety of prey, including fish, rays, turtles, and even other sharks. They are known for their opportunistic feeding behavior and will scavenge on carrion or take advantage of easy prey when available. Although striped sharks have a reputation for being aggressive towards humans, they typically only attack if provoked or mistaken for prey. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these apex predators, which play an important role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
