That is a great question and I’m kicking myself for not adding that part of the story…
Everytime someone is attacked by a shark they send over a shark expert to examine the wound, document the story for further research into why sharks bite people. Based on the size of the wound coupled with what Aaron saw was how they predicted the size. And then based on where he was in the world/ocean plus HOW the shark attacked (just one initial bite, no thrashing of the head or violently ripping) was how he came to the tiger shark conclusion.
The best part is that after he got out of the hospital we met several locals and one who happened to be take tourists out on canoes around that area who all said they OFTEN see a huge tiger shark in that area (it’s a big hang out for sea turtles).
Thanks for asking and I hope that helps!

Great site, thanks so much for sharing. One question though that i’ve tried to find the answer to in your posts – how do you know it was a tiger shark that attacked him and how do you know how big it was?

What a wuss! He couldn't have just walked that off? Come on!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go vomit and curl up in the fetal position for the next 3 hours. Holy crap.
