    I was just surfing the web trying to find info on the tigersharks. I saw a recent youtubeclip of the ocean realm display and no tigersharks. On their website there is no infomation about them and youtubeclips about them have been removed from their youtubeaccount. What happened?

    Not sure why all the things have been removed and if something happened with them, but when I was down there on 3/24/11 I know that I saw at least 1 Tiger Shark in the Ocean Realm exhibit.

    I would guess around 5 feet. Smaller than the hammerhead but not by too much. Last I knew the hammerhead was around 6.5 feet.

    UPDATE: After speaking with someone there I have found out that both Tiger Sharks are dead.
