The sand tiger is at the top of the food chain in its environment. It preys on bony fishes like the herring, bluefishes and sea bass. It also preys on rays, custaceans, and other smaller sharks. Mature sand tigers have no real predator except for man.
The sand tiger has an adaptation where it can gulp air from the surface and remain completely still in the water. Sand tigers in aquariums have lived to be 16 years old but usualyy live to 10 years in the wild.
