Tiger Shark Jaw (NHMW-Zoo-FS 50080)

3D scan of a tiger shark jaw from the species *Galeocerdo cuvier*. Tiger sharks can grow up to 7.5 meters and weight up to 3 tons! This makes them one of the most powerful predators in the tropical and subtropical seas. These sharks prefer to stay near reefs, but can also dive to depth of up to 350 meters. This specific jaw is housed backstage, but another tiger shark jaw, alongside with other shark species, can be found in Hall 25 of the NHM Vienna. **Specimen:** *Galeocerdo cuvier* (Péron & Lesueur, 1822) **Inventory number:** NHMW-Zoo-FS 50080 **Collection:** Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Fish Coll.
