not bite proof, this is why they use cages to protect against really big sharks.

Sharks are larger and have larger teeth though. Plus, they have an advantage b/c they live in water and we don't. Bring them to land and we can debate a cage-less shark fight. The tiger situation seems more possible but I wouldn't try it.

I'm just saying that there's a limit to the amount of bite protection provided by chain mail.
