Some sharks are known to occasionally "eject" their intestine through the cloaca. Sharks have elongated pyloric stomachs that allow them to "shoot" and retract their entire spiral-shaped intestine.

Although there are some reported cases of smaller sharks showing this remarkable behavior, it has never been filmed or reported from sharks as large as the tiger.
