NOTES

Horses, tires, license plates, and suits of armor-tiger sharks are incredible predators that will eat anything! These vicious creatures are the second-largest sharks in the ocean and are known for their aggressive nature and likelihood to attack. From their ability to detect electric currents in the water to their special organ that allows them to feel movement from other animals, tiger sharks are amazing predators. From the Northeastern United States to the Indian Ocean, these striped sharks are found all over the world, waiting to attack their prey. Find out everything you need to know about tiger sharks, from how they hunt to where you can see one in the wild (if you dare)! Every book in The Amazing World of Sharks is full of fascinating information about where and how sharks live. From the well-known great white shark to the hardly seen goblin shark, this series will take you on a journey deep into the ocean's depths where you'll learn about different shark species and how they can be protected.
