This fish is mainly found in northern Australia.
Less shy than its red and blue version, it is easier to see. For this you will have to go to very specific places, about 5am or 5pm. Do not hesitate to ask to the local people ;).
He is very awesome but suffers from being fashionable for aquariums fans.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
