AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of three tiger shark teeth.
Width = 2.6 cm for the largest.
- length = 2 cm

The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is one of the largest current predatory sharks, capable of exceeding 5 meters. Recognizable by its dark vertical stripes on the sides—especially prominent in juveniles—it has a powerful jaw and saw-shaped teeth capable of cutting almost anything. It is an opportunistic predator, nicknamed the 'garbage can of the seas' because it eats a wide variety of prey, from fish to sea turtles. Found in all tropical and subtropical waters, it plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
