The Tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo. It is a large macropredator, capable of attaining a length over five meters.
Populations are found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around central Pacific islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a tiger's pattern, but fade as the shark matures. The tiger shark is a solitary, mostly nocturnal hunter. It is notable for having the widest food spectrum of all sharks, with a range of prey that includes crustaceans, fish, seals, birds, squid, turtles, sea snakes, dolphins, and even other smaller sharks.
It also has a reputation as a "garbage eater", consuming a variety of inedible, man-made objects that linger in its stomach. It is considered a near threatened species because of finning and fishing by humans.
The Tiger shark is second only to the great white in recorded fatal attacks on humans, but these events are still exceedingly rare. This one was from Madagascar waters, mounted in a handmade brass support on a black lacquered wood base.

Wedgefishes in the family Rhinidae. They are found in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific with a single species (R. luebbert) in the eastern Atlantic. The species are superficially similar and have often been confused. The various species can generally be separated by a combination of snout shape, vertebral count and exact colour (distribution of white spots, and presence/absence of a black spot at the base of the pectoral fin).
The largest species can reach about three meters and are among the largest species of rajiformes, but the smallest reach less than one-third of that size. The wedgefish prey upon small bony fish and invertebrates and have a very peculiar jaw that works like a crusher to eat shellfish.

Fugu can be lethally poisonous to humans due to its tetrodotoxin, meaning it must be carefully prepared to remove toxic parts and to avoid contaminating the meat. The preparation of fugu is strictly controlled by law in Japan and several other countries, and only chefs who have qualified after three or more years of rigorous training are allowed to prepare the fish. Fugu is served as sashimi and nabemono. The liver was served as a traditional dish named fugu-kimo, being widely thought to be a tasty part, but it is also the most poisonous, and serving this organ in restaurants was banned in Japan in 1984. Fugu has become one of the most celebrated dishes in Japanese cuisine.
