Eye of the tiger shark
Tiger sharks have killed 34 humans since records began.
The biggest tiger sharks are typically 12ft-long – but marine biologist Kori Burkhardt discovered a whopper in the waters of French Polynesia measuring a huge 16ft.
Kori told The Mirror: “When we first met Kamakai it was really unexpected. I’ve been diving with tiger sharks in multiple countries and she’s by far the biggest I’ve ever seen.”
Experts said the waters have become a “safe haven, where a shark like Kamakai can birth a new generation of mega tiger sharks.”
Attack map
A US map reveals that shark attack hotspots wrap around all of America.
Recent attacks on the west coast have been seen near Santa Barbara and Monterey, California.
East coast beachgoers have witnessed attacks near Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and Jones Beach in New York.
This is not a drill
In the midst of an uptick in shark attacks, there has not been immunity within the lifeguard community.
John Mullins, 17, who was participating in lifeguard training, was attacked by a shark on July 7 at around 11am at Ocean Beach off of the east coast.
Before that, lifeguard Zach Gallo, 33, was bitten while he was doing training exercises at Smith Point Beach.
Zach had been playing a mock victim in a lifeguard training exercise on Sunday, July 3, when a shark attacked him, according to the New York Post.
He punched the shark in an effort to evade the attack.
Measure for measure
20 ft sharks are among the largest sharks known to scientists, apart from whale sharks, which measure up to 40 ft! Those wondering how these sharks are measured can watch a diver get close enough to two 20 ft sharks to count the inches.
Raging bull sharks
Bull sharks are among the deadliest sharks in Australian oceans.
Stream Raging Bulls on Discovery+ during Shark Week to see bull shark attack survivor and pro shark diver Paul de Gelder unleash the mystery on why these sea beasts are becoming fiercer predators by the day.
