Tiger sharks exhibit surprising individual travel patterns across oceans

Researchers have tagged tiger sharks off the coast of Cape Verde to understand their movements and habitat use. While most tagged sharks remained within the archipelago, one female embarked on an unprecedented round-trip journey across the Atlantic to Brazil, covering nearly 11,185 miles. This individual variation in movement highlights the complexity of shark behavior and has significant implications for conservation efforts, as their wide-ranging movements expose them to threats across different regions and fishing operations.
