The lifespan of Tiger Sharks in the wild is believed to be 27 years in average, although some may live up to 50 years of age. Like with other species, tiger sharks in captivity do not live as lengthy as in wildlife reaching only 17 to 20 years.
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen. The appendix doesn't seem to have a specific purpose. Appendicitis causes pain in your lower right abdomen.
When the appendix gets larger and tighter, blood can not flow easily to the walls of the appendix, and part of the wall can become damaged so that the contents of the appendix can leak out into abdominal cavity (burst appendix).
