Tiger sharks have stripes primarily as a form of camouflage. The vertical stripes and patterns help them blend into the sunlight-dappled waters near the ocean's surface, making it harder for prey to spot them. These markings can also provide some level of identification among individuals, aiding in social interactions and mating. As they mature, the stripes often fade, but their initial presence serves an important role in their early development.
