About Niuhi - Tiger Sharks
In 'olelo Hawaiian, both tiger sharks and great white sharks are niuhi, or 'man-eating shark'. However both were revered as aumakua (family spirit guide or ancestor) rather than feared as man eaters. Tiger sharks sport beautiful stripes as younger sharks, but these fade as the shark gets bigger. Easily identifiable by their blunt noses, they are the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo. Tiger sharks have a well-earned reputation as voracious hunters. Their distinctive serrated teeth and undiscerning palate mean they dine on everything from rays to turtles and even birds. They attain 5m but very large tigers grow to 8m. Generally found in tropical and temperate waters. Status: Near Threatened.

International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world!

If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.
