The lifespan of Tiger Sharks in the wild is believed to be 27 years in average, although some may live up to 50 years of age. Like with other species, tiger sharks in captivity do not live as lengthy as in wildlife reaching only 17 to 20 years.
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen. The appendix doesn't seem to have a specific purpose. Appendicitis causes pain in your lower right abdomen.
Some scientists believe that the appendix does have a useful function in the body. They have done research which suggests that the appendix stores good bacteria that the body needs. If the good bacteria in the digestive system are damaged or wiped out by a severe infection in the bowel they say that the appendix may release the bacteria it has been storing back into the rest of the bowel.
