What kinds of Squids do Tiger Sharks eat?

Answer 1

A giant squid will eat up to 500 lbs. of fish, crab, shark or any other ocean animal per day.

Depends on what kind of squid you are talking about. If you are talking about giant squid, then they eat large fish, some crustaceans, and even young whales and sharks. Other squid of a smaller size will eat small fish, small crustaceans (including shrimp), and other squid. The shells of the crustaceans do not present a problem for the squid due to the squid's hard beak which is hard enough to break the shells of said crustaceans. Hope this helps! Have a great day! : )

Answer 2

The slow kind...

But seriously folks: Fishes- all fishes, even sharks- forage, or 'hunt for prey'; at the ocean's depth at which they live. The Tiger sharks range from 900 meters (3,000 ft) deep, all the way up to the surface, occasionally coming up into shallow reef areas hunting for food. Sometimes they mistake humans such as Bethany Hamilton for their regular prey. While considered to be 'Near Threatened' by the IUCN, (reported) attacks on humans are surprisingly low. They have been known to ingest (eat) automobile license plates, baseballs, tires, and oil cans. Many regard them to be 'the garbage can of the sea'.

So! The major types of squid found in these regions (epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic) include 300 species classified into 29 families.

Tiger sharks are known to eat various species of squids, including ommastrephid squids, arrow squids, and glass squids. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume a wide range of prey, including squids, depending on availability and location.
