As for the white shark, the tiger shark attacks cetaceans. It will target sick or very young whales or dolphins.
Its diet is however very changeable, according to the place where it is: turtles, dugongs, fish, crustaceans, albatross, etc.
It is one of the sharks "dangerous" for the man, one advise to avoid going to snorkel if it is present at the sunrise or sunset.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
