A tiger shark has dark stripes on its sides when it is young, like a striped football shirt. Spain's Ferran Torres was nicknamed "the Shark" by his teammates as a joke, and he liked it. This one swims a lap of the beach like a striker warming up.

On Futbol Island the tiger shark can be caught at:

• Sharks Beach Point: The east end of Sharks Beach, a long kick from the beach-soccer court. The open sea starts here, so tuna and little sharks swim close in.

Size on the island: 100–300 cm.
