19/11/2007: "A DANGEROUS SPECIES ....... Tiger shark"
Tiger sharks are always a potential problem with a confident, rarely excited swimming disposition, that is until they decide to feed, then they can't be easily discouraged.
The power of the jaws when a tiger feeds is a real education - a bit frightening if you're lucky enough to be at close quarters.
Raine Island is in the far north of Queensland where often hundreds of turtles nest ashore.
The tigers have learned when to arrive during the season. There's an easy feed with any very tired turtle returning to the sea.
