The Lemon Shark

I really like lemon sharks. Lemon sharks have brown skin with a little yellow. These special colors help camouflage the lemon shark as it swims along the sandy ocean floor. Their skin has indentations, so it really looks and feels like a lemon! Lemon sharks are 8 to 9 feet long. The hang out in shallow water and eat smaller sharks, crustaceans, turtles, and sting rays.

Lemon sharks are social. They stick with other sharks the same size and are often with a group. Researchers discovered lemon sharks prefer being in a group to being alone.

Have you ever seen a lemon shark?
