A juvenile tiger shark was caught off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and released in July by brothers Nate Rouette and Nelson Rouette, long-time sport fishermen in the state. The species is known as tropical and has a reputation for eating almost anything it can swallow.

The observation is being treated as an indicator of warming oceans linked to climate change. The report highlights how a rare catch can still function as a data point for environmental trends, even when the animal is returned to the water.
