We need a name for her - any suggestions?
My good friend Paul Spielvogel took this pic one week after I left Tiger Beach. The jaw injury is permanent, as you can see, but I trust that she will still be able to feed herself properly.

"Scarface", the famous resident tiger shark of Beqa Lagoon, has lived with an injured lower jaw for a long time, and seems to have adjusted perfectly to the deformation of her mouth. Every diver who has met her, fell in love with her.

May "Scarface" and her smaller cousin of Tiger Beach live many more happy tiger shark years, and not fall into an angler's trap once again!
