sharks !!

Lemon Sharks are mesmerizing sharks. Their name comes from the coloration of their skin (yellowish brown). They're also called Negaprion Brevirostris. They can grow up to 8-11 ft tall and 420 pounds. They also age up to 27+. The oldest lemon shark was known to be 40 years old. Lemon sharks are almost the nicest sharks in the world. Only a few accidents occurred which were not fatal at all. Lemon sharks eat crustaceans, fish, and other small sharks. Lemon sharks find their prey like any other sharks, they have electroreceptors that make them able to track prey with the impulses all sea creatures have. Lemon sharks live in tropical/subtropical waters in the atlantic and pacific oceans. they mostly prefer shallow water near coral reefs. Lemon sharks usually go 80 meters deep (262.467 ft) in the ocean. They may still be a shark, but they certainly are friendly!
