The life-span of tiger sharks in the wild is considered to be 27 years in average, even though some may live up to 50 years of age. As with other species, tiger sharks in captivity do not live as extensive as in wildlife reaching only 17 to 20 years. Some experts presume that the lifespan of the Great White Sharks is approximately 30 years (Levine, 1988) but other research indicates that they can reach up to 40 years.
