Tiger shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The tiger shark, Galeocerdo cuvier, one of nature's largest sharks, is the only member of the genus Galeocerdo. |
| | The genus, Galeocerdo, is derived from the Greek, galeos which means shark and Latin cerdus which means the hard hairs of pigs. |
| | It is classified under the Carcharhinidae, commonly referred to as requiem sharks; the Carcharinidae family includes some of the most well known sharks such as the blue shark, lemon shark and bull shark. |

| | The unique example on which this species is founded resembles in general form certain species of Corax from the Cretaceous, and is readily distinguished from other teeth pertaining to Carcharias, the roots of which are expanded and the coronal margins less prominently and completely serrated. |
| | The total height of the tooth is 14 mm., the width 15 mm., and thickness of the crown at the middle of the base 4 mm. |
| | The trivial title adopted for it is taken from a manuscript label of Cope's attached to the specimen, which bears witness that he regarded it as a distinct species, although its description was for some reason omitted. |

| | Ward & Bonavia (2001) argued that the teeth long ascribed to Galeocerdo contortus were in fact those of the extinct genus Physogaleus. |
| | This tooth-design is so similar to Physogaleus and dissimilar to Galeocerdo that it was difficult to disagree with their conclusions. |
| | "Galeocerdo" aduncus and Physogaleus "contortus" are Pungo River species and G. |

| | Shark Species: More information about Tiger Sharks |
| | First described by Peron and Lessueur in 1822, the tiger shark was given the name Squalus cuvier. |
| | The genus name Galeocerdo is derived from the Greek, galeos = "shark" and the Latin, "cerdus" = the hard hairs of pigs. |
| | Probably the most easy to recognize of the requiem sharks, the tiger gets its name from dark fl spots and vertical bars which run the length of the body. |

| | A blunt, almost square snout, large fl eyes rimmed with white and broad dark bands on the back and flanks easily distinguish this shark from any other. |
| | However when confronted with divers, they are usually very cautious and shy, coming in only briefly to satisfy their curiosity before departing for deep water. |
