The tiger shark is a super predator of the ocean: it hunts large fish, turtles, mammals, and even its own kind.

The shark can tear its prey to pieces with its sharp teeth, but most often it swallows its prey whole.
Did this huge tuna get stuck in the shark's mouth? No! The shark simply doesn't have a moveable tongue to speed up swallowing, and the flow of water isn't enough to get such weighty food through. All a shark needs to do is flex its pectoral muscles, which are responsible for the movement of its fins, in simple terms, "shrug". And then it will swim back for more fish!!!

To catch its prey, the splashback swims under a twig or grass on which its prey sits and freezes near the water surface.

Then with a sharp movement of the gill lids it passes water along the longitudinal groove on the palate in a small stream or a series of drops (depending on the position of the tongue tip) and directs it to the prey.

The jet, usually reaching 2-5 meters, knocks down the insect, which is 1-2 meters away from the water.
