LEMON SHARK QUIZ!!! ⊂(´･◡･⊂ )∘˚˳°

FACT NUMBER 1!! - Did you know that the largest lemon shark ever recorded was around 12.1 feet long!!!

Usually, lemon sharks grow between 8 - 10 feet long as adults + These sharks are social animals!!! ～(つˆДˆ)つ｡☆ Generally not considered a threat to humans! <3

FACT NUMBER 2!!! - Lemon sharks can weigh up to 551 pounds and live up to 30 years!!

FACT NUMBER 3! - ALSO!! Lemon sharks can be seen "sleeping" on the seabed throughout the day, waiting for small fish to remove parasites from their bodies.

This habit requires A LOT more energy than swimming! 'Cause it must constantly pump water over its gills to breathe!! ✧\(>o<)ﾉ✧

BONUS FACT!!!!!!

Everyone has been asking lately, "Can lemon sharks see color?" Well, it's lucky your day, I can answer that 4 you!!!

(◠‿・)—☆

The lemon shark's retina is also equipped with a specialized horizontal band, or "visual streak," which allows it to see fine detail and color underwater!

[A retina (if you were confused) is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball!!]
