Tiger sharks are named for the dark stripes on their sides, which fade as they grow up. Color every other band on its back a darker gray to make the stripes.

In this picture
A tiger shark with curved stripes down its back swims above two fan-shaped corals that grow from rounded rocks. Three small fish keep it company, and bubbles rise through the water.

- smooth rocks
Coloring ideas
- Give each of the three little fish its own pair of colors, one for the body and one for the fins.
- Color the two fan corals in warm pinks or oranges and the rocks under them in cool grays, so the reef stands out from the water.
- Try real tiger colors on the shark for a silly twist, with orange bands between the stripe lines.
Talk about it
- Count the three little fish, then point to the one swimming under the shark.
- Which other animals have stripes, and how might stripes help an animal hide?
