Are tiger sharks omnivores carnivores or herbivores?
Tiger sharks are all of the above, according to Dr. Erich K. Ritter.
Tiger sharks are noted for having the widest food spectrum of all sharks. They can eat almost anything, from turtles to birds, as well as other sharks and fish. Besides normal prey they even eat garbage like tires, nails or car license plates, as sometimes documented by examinations of their stomach contents. For this reason they acquired the reputation of being "garbage eaters" and were considered primitive. In reality, it is exactly their diverse food palette and unique chewing mechanism which today puts them into a different light, for their apparent lack of specialization indicates a much higher development. Tiger sharks are special because they feed on a broad spectrum of prey rather than being specialized on specific prey. As an apex predator, the Tiger Shark has the reputation
for "eating anything".
Are zebra sharks the same as leopard sharks?
The problem is the use of common names. The Zebra Sharks (Stegostoma fasciatum or Stegostoma varium) are also sometimes called Leopard Sharks, BUT there is also a completely different species of Shark which also goes by the name Leopard Shark (Triakis semifasciata). They are very different species.
Common names are interchangeable and vary from place to place but the scientific name can be relied upon to always refer to a single species.

Why are sharks teeth replaced all through their lives?
Their teeth are not formed in bony cavities as in bony animals. So, they can easily be removed in feeding. Sharks must have teeth as they are the only real defense or means of feeding. They are also very weakly designed teeth which aren't heavy vascularized bone. They can break easily but are perfect for sharks and their physiology. Therefore, sharks need a ready replacement system for their design of physiology and metabolism. It allows them to survive in very harsh conditions, temps and depths.
