Tiger sharks are usually found on the surface and up to 1,200 feet (340 meters). They live near the coast and in open waters. Tiger Shark inhabits the tropical and subtropical coastal waters worldwide and can be found in some temperate waters. In the North Atlantic tiger sharks are frequently found year off the coast of Florida, but they may migrate northward to Nova Scotia in Canada during their seasonal migration. Tiger sharks are also famous for their long journeys across the North Atlantic and Tiger sharks can travel to the North Atlantic and all the way to South America and Africa. Tiger sharks appear to prefer coastal areas, but spend much time in the pelagic areas near the coast and in certain phases of their lives. Studies show that small tiger sharks live in areas other than the great Tiger Sharks, probably a way to avoid to struggle and robbery. Tiger sharks eat other tiger sharks, if possible. 

A kindergarten for Tiger Sharks has been found on the continental shelf of south-eastern United States outside the approximate area, just outside Augusta, Georgia, outside of Daytona, Florida. The care sector to about 55 threads. There is also a reason Tiger Shark care on the coast of North Carolina. Tiger sharks are solitary and come together only to reproduce. Studies on tiger sharks in the North West showed their maturity at about 8.5, FL, indicating an age of about 7 years. This applies to both men and women tiger sharks. Women have thus reached 20 to 25 percent of their age when they have matured and the chance to reproduce at least 10 times before reaching their age limit.You have is a two-year cycle of reproduction.Contrairement other members of the family Carcharhinidae the tiger shark ovoviviparous. It is sometimes aplacental as viviparity.The embryos hatch in utero and development in her lap, but they get no nourishment from the mother through the placenta or the like. Tiger Shark normally produces 35-55 embryos that a larger number is ovoviviparous for an animal. There are reports of up to 82 embryos in a litter tiger shark. The gestation period for Tiger Sharks has not been confirmed, and some sources say, nine months, while others believe that the gestation period longer than one year. The female will give birth in late spring or early summer.Newborn tiger sharks are 20-30 inches (51-76 cm)
