=== Background information ===
This species wasn't named in the script of "The Way to Eden".
Zora, seen in "The Savage Curtain", was never said to be a Tiburonian; it was merely said that she performed experiments upon the natives. However, the final draft script of "The Savage Curtain" identified her as a "Tiburon".
The species was named "Tiburonian" in the final draft script of "The Ship". 
=== Apocrypha ===
The Worlds of the Federation described Tiburons as mutated descendants of Terran Humans.
The Decipher RPG book Starfleet Operations Manual used the name "Tiburonese". Modern Tiburonese are described as hybrids of native Tiburonese and the Ucali, a species that conquered Tiburon 1,400 years ago. The Ucali were aggressive conquerors who considered physical pleasure to be taboo, but over time, the native Tiburonese were able to tempt their conquerors into a life of pleasure. Modern Tiburonese culture is devoted to experiencing joy and the Tiburonese rely on robots to perform almost all economic activities.
