First tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier bite in 75 years in French Polynesia (Eastern Central Pacific)

We analyzed a tiger shark (estimated 2.8 m total length) bite on a snorkeler. The removal of the terminal part of the leg suggests a predatory motivation for the bite. This is the first documented bite by a tiger shark in French Polynesia waters for the past 75 years.
